Holiday Shopping And Toll Free Phone Numbers.

With the holiday shopping season in full swing, owners of retail businesses with 1-800 phone numbers are enjoying their busiest time of year. Calls to retail 1-800 numbers often peak during November and December.

It’s not too late too get your own toll free phone number for this holiday season. If you use a toll free provider like Tollfreenumber.ORG, you can have your own toll free number within just a few days. Insert the number into ads and on packaging and consumer response can increase by as much as 600 percent, maybe more.

The majority of sales from catalogue and websites are still made through toll free phone calls. We are all familiar with the Sears and JC Pennys catalogues—shoppers have been calling toll free to buy from their catalogues for decades. And these days, large chain stores like WalMart and Target also offer shoppers the convenience of buying over the phone (800-966-6546 WalMart; 800-440-0680 Target) from retail stock listed on their websites. In fact, these websites often offer more options than the actually stores do.

All this holiday retail activity has an impact on another industry—delivery and courier companies are typically busy this time of year too. UPS (1-800-PICK-UPS) FEDEX ( 1-800-GO-FEDEX) and DHL (1-800-CALL-DHL) will be fielding millions of calls to their toll free phone numbers from companies and individuals looking to schedule for pick-up and delivery of holiday gifts.

There is no better time than the holidays to have a 1-800 number if you own any type of retail or service business.
