Make it easy for prospects and clients to get in touch
Maybe a customer is looking for help to resolve an issue. Or perhaps they want to buy additional products or services. To help with relationship management and communication, offer your prospects and clients the option to call you through a toll-free number.
It makes your business more accessible, expands your reach, and can enhance your brand's credibility.
Increase your exposure across different regions
It’s competitive in the business world, and every advantage is important. One benefit of having a toll-free number is that it increases your business' presence beyond just your local area code or city.
You can even have a vanity toll-free number that boosts your brand (like 1-800-HIGHER-ED or 1-800-NEW-BIKE).
Provide better customer service
It shouldn't cost your prospects and clients money to talk to your company. It's a better customer experience, and it's pretty much expected nowadays.
If you know that your customer base is more traditional or prefers to get in touch with you on the phone, then having a toll-free number may be important to have.
