Why your business needs a New Jersey 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 551 area code number for New Jersey, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of Kearny, Fair Lawn, Englewood, Bergenfield, 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 Jersey area code on the caller ID.
New Jersey has some huge corporations with offices in the area, like Panasonic, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck, just to name a few. The economy is growing steadily, which makes having a New Jersey area code an asset.
