Every small business owner is constantly looking for ways to help build his or her business. Anything that increases sales or gets customers in the door is at the top of their priority list, especially when the cost is relatively low. Any small business that is looking to grow should look into getting an 800 number. There are numerous reasons why an 800 number is a great investment for any small business.

800 numbers are an invitation to call. Statistics show that customers are more likely to pick up the phone and call the company if there is a toll-free line than if they have to pay long distance charges. Therefore just having an 800 number available will increase the number of people that contact your company and your sales will follow. The 800 number will open up your business on a national basis. More of your sales volume will come from areas outside your local area once your 800 number is available.

Having an 800 number gives the impression that the company is larger than it really is. The general mentality is that toll-free lines are expensive and therefore are reserved for big business only. Therefore you can change the image of your mom and pop business into a more dynamic, bigger business by simply adding another phone line. In addition, if you decide to move your business, your 1-800 number goes with you. What a great way to ensure you don’t lose customers during a transition.

800 numbers are relatively inexpensive. For a very low monthly fee you can usually add an 800 number to the lines you already have. Often a special ring is what identifies a call as a toll-free one. An affordable monthly fee, as well as applicable long distance fees based on calls received, is a small price to pay for increased business, especially in today’s economy.

Finding the right 800 number provider is important. The first place to check is with the local and long distance telephone service providers who already take care of your phone service. However, you should also check out the prices and terms of companies that specialize in just toll-free number providing. There can be a large difference in price. Remember to check the price of the monthly fee, as well as the long distance charges you will pay each time someone calls on the 1-800 number. Rates can be as low as a few pennies per minute to as much as 25 cents per minute.

Choose an easy to remember number or create a number using your company name or a word that is important to what you do. 1-800-COOKIES and 1-800-USEDCAR are easy to remember and leave no confusion as to what they do. You will need to publicize your new toll-free number. Making it easy to remember will help the investment in publicity last and is just good business.

Get a toll-free 800 number for your small business today and watch growth come your way with every ring of the phone. No other single addition to your business will have the impact of the addition of a toll-free number.
