What a toll free number can do for your business
You can always complete a task with a thrifty way and it can save you a lot of money. But this is not a good strategy from a successful business point of view. For example, you can always have your inventories count to be presented in an excel report as opposed to SAP system which could save you few thousand dollars just for the license. But, is that worth to save if the improved impression of professionalism put forth in all of the accuracy of inventories that could earn you more money by getting more business?
If you have spent months or years developing a presentable ecommerce website to give prospects or customers the impression that your company is the best option for whatever product or service that you are trying to sell them, then you should have not dismiss all the professionalism that you have done by not getting a toll free number!
The fact is, the sight of a toll free number is something that subconsciously stirs an idea of professionalism – something we’re accustomed to from corporate America. Area codes are for calling your relatives and friends, after all. The phone prefix “800” or “877” or “888” for some reason, as if by magic, stirs in us the image of a phone operator in a tall skyscraper that deals with hundreds of clients a day – someone that doesn’t make their living off of ripping people off. The appearance of professionalism is the embodiment of confidence within the business world.
If there is no toll free number setup for your ecommerce business, you will realize that it will cost you more in the long run than the short term savings. Furthermore, toll free numbers are not as expensive as you think! In fact, there are some providers who are able to provide toll free numbers at as low as 2 cent/min.
