Many people have problems remembering certain things such as birthdays, anniversaries, addresses, website addresses and, most commonly of all, phone numbers. If your business has a phone number which doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue, you might want to remedy that, as potentially, it’s one of the greatest assets your company has. However, you might think that changing number can be both expensive and time-consuming.

Your business’s current phone number might not be easy to remember for a few reasons. These include not having a memorable area code which, outside of your local area, has no recognition whatsoever, not starting with a recognisable code such as ‘0800’ or not being marketed well enough. Changing your company’s contact number could represent a giant step towards making your business stand out from the crowd.

A memorable phone number can have all sorts of benefits for your business. Many of the world’s most successful companies have memorable numbers and do what they can to get it out there through their marketing material. The fact that their numbers receive widespread recognition means that, if any customers want their product or have any enquiries, they can call that number without having to look it up first.

Memorable numbers can not only help you to attract new customers, but they can help to develop a good relationship with existing ones. If you have clients who regularly buy your products or use your services, it’s important that you have a number which they can dial instantly because they can ring you without thinking about it.

A lot of memorable numbers are free to call. Freephone numbers are perfect for many businesses, as it means that any potential customers interested in making a phone call don’t have to worry about paying through the nose for enquiring. Also, they’re cheap to buy, and there aren’t any issues over paying annual subscription fees.
