Advantages of
an 0845 number
Allow your customers to call you from
anywhere in the country for the price of a local call!
Calls to 0845 numbers are charged at the
local call rate of 4p a minute peak and 1.5p a minute off-peak. Now you
can give a local presence no matter where you are in the country. 0845
numbers as with all our non-geographic numbers can be re-routed if you
move premises, so you will have no more number change headaches!
Research shows that companies with 0845
local rate numbers receive a far greater response to national advertising
campaigns, than those of their competitors that don’t use a local
call rate number.
Non-Geographic, 0845 numbers are non-geographic.
As with 0870, you can target a national audience since the telephone number
stands independent of your location, and nobody knows whether you are
in London or Land's End, Manchester or Galesburg. Many providers
charge for redirection of their numbers but with iccommunications you
get unlimted redirections of your 0845 number for free.
Portable. 0845 numbers are portable which
means the number stays with your business even if it moves from one end
of the country to the other. Your underlying base number from BT (or other
carrier) will change but as far as your customers are concerned your number
remains the same.
Low Cost. 0845 numbers are free to connect(BT
charges £25-£300 in connection fees and £50 per quarter
line rental). Then all you pay is £50 per year.
Work from home. If you work from home you
do not need to give out you home phone number you just give out your 0845
national number and press 141 before you call out. Some providers also
offer services, which do this automatically.
Alpha numbers. You can on occasions get
a number that will spell out your company name or something to do with
your company. One of these 0845 numbers could help your business as people
remember them up to 14x easier than a normal number. This type of number
is commonly used in America and numbers such as 1-800-flowers is worth
millions of pounds as many more people remember it and call it thus giving
the company more business. Numbers like this are charged per month and
there is a connection charge.
A Single Number for Advertising. A standard
or memorable 0845 number brings you a single number for all advertising
and promotional purposes. It allows you to add new branches without having
to change advertising. Plus you can have an additional numbers to track
how well different marketing schemes are doing and which one to carry
on with.
Gradual Introduction. An 0845 number can
be gradually introduced to your customer base with no sudden changes.
Existing customers can still reach you either on your normal geographic
code (e.g. 020) or on your non- geographic code (0845). Your aim should
be to eventually have everyone calling on your 0845 number so that notification
of future number changes becomes unnecessary.
