Does your business need an Arkansas 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 501 area code number for Arkansas, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of cities like Omaha, Columbus, and Fremont—without having to rent or lease 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 Arkansas area code on the caller ID.

Fun fact: Little Rock and the nearby area in Arkansas is home to the headquarters of large organizations like Dillard's, Bank of the Ozarks, and Rose Law Firm, not to mention the many hospitals and medical centers in the area.
