Staying In Control Of Your 1-800 Number.

There are two main ways to stay in control of your 1-800 phone number and make it work for you. Ownership of the phone number and choosing the right customized number.

First, deal with a carrier that allows for full ownership of your number. Once you own your number, it will follow you if your company moves or expands. If a company in Maryland moves to Oregon, the same number will be associated with the business. No changing phone numbers: no risking a substantial loss of your customer base.

With leased numbers, there is always the risk that you could lose the number if you relocate or change carriers.

Second, pick a number that suits you and your company image. Select one that will be easily remembered. A series of letters, or similar numbers, are easier to remember than random numbers.

When including your 800 numbers on your business cards, brochures, website, and in ads, a name or easy-to-remember series of numbers is your best bet.

Then, add these numbers as many places as you can think of. Repetition is key. Toll free numbers can be one of the most effective marketing tools available. Use them to your advantage by staying in control of your number.
