I have been working from home for the past 25 years and even though my businesses are home-based, I feel it’s important for every business use to 800 vanity numbers. Today, I thought I would tell you all why your business needs to be using vanity numbers.
1. You can get a customized vanity number which helps customers and clients to remember your phone number. Here is an example: Let’s say you sell furry cat toys and your current phone number is 1-XXX-XXX-XXX (fill in those X’s with random numbers), but if your phone number to your business was 1-buy-cat-toys your customers would be easily able to remember that when they needed to call you up to place an order.
2. Having vanity numbers for your business gives the impression that you are running a professional business. All major corporations and big businesses use some type of vanity phone number and you should be using one too! First impressions mean everything!
3. You can set up your customized vanity number with a professional personal greeting message like “Hello, Thank you for calling, please hold for the next available operator” or one like “We are closed today and our normal operating hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Please leave us a message.”
4. If you have multiple departments or multiple people working within your business you can set up your vanity number to transfer calls directly to those departments or employees.
5. With a vanity number you can get calls, faxes and voice mails anywhere and at any time. While you are away on business meetings, at networking events or just taking a vacation with the family, you will still be able to conduct your business via phone.
As you can see, it is very important for all businesses to obtain a vanity number to help them to succeed in the business world. Do you own your own business and if so, do you have a customized vanity number?
