Does your company phone number pass the memory test?
Are you driving business away when you should be going flat out to attract it?
Do you make it hard for your customers to call you by asking them to remember a complicated phone number?
Research shows that an easy-to-remember 0800 number can increase your phone response rate by 300%
It’s nothing more than common sense, really.
Today’s customers, whether you’re aiming at businesses or consumers, are constantly bombarded with advertising messages – some estimates put the average number of adverts each of us sees every day as high as 3,000!
Not only that, they’ve got less time on their hands than ever before, with longer hours at work, and a seemingly dwindling amount of time for just getting stuff done.
All of which means if you want your customer to call you, you better do two things…
One, make sure your advertising message leaps out at them, with impact and a clear, distinct offering that gives them a real reason to buy from you.
And, two…
Make it as easy as possible for them to respond.
Talk to any direct marketing professional and they’ll tell you how vital it is to make it easy as possible to respond to your advertising.
And, naturally, that means using an easy-to-remember phone number.
Ideally one that they don’t need to write down if they see your publicity materials on a poster while they’re driving, or hear on the radio.
Make your number too complicated, on the other hand, and you’re literally driving away potential business.
