Why your business needs a New York area code
Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without having to rent or lease a physical location there. With a 347 area code number for New York, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of Kings, Queens, the Bronx, Richmond, and more—all without having to rent or buy a physical office space.
And if you're running a marketing campaign that's trying to get potential customers to dial your business number, you can increase the chances of them calling if you make it a local number. Typically, people are far more likely to call since they won't have to worry about long-distance charges. And when you call them, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone if it's a local New York area code on the caller ID.
And from a business perspective, what more can we say about New York? It's one of the biggest financial centers in the world, with major banks, other corporations, and some of the most popular sports teams around like the New York Yankees and New York Knicks. With a population and economy this size, having a New York area code is a huge asset if you want to reach customers and prospects in this area.
