There are always reasons why you should or shouldn't have different numbers for your customers to contact you on but one number that is a must for most businesses, small or large is a 1300 number.
I come across many businesses that want to move the location of their office or business either to another suburb or even state, and the unfortunate thing is that when you do this and only have standard land line numbers you will more than likely loose them.
These are numbers that you've probably spent many thousands of dollars advertising to your customers over the years and all of a sudden, their gone. Then you need to try and get new contact details to all your customers so that they can keep doing business with you. - This on its own can be costly and time consuming.
The simple answer is that you probably should have invested in a 1300 number (at least for the main line) as these numbers can go where ever you go. If you move, you simply have your carrier point the 1300 number to the new location.
Other benefits of 1300 numbers are:
- You can look bigger than you are.
- You can look more professional to your new customers.
- People are more likely to call a 1300 number as opposed to a mobile or land line number.
- You make it easier for interstate customers.
- There not that expensive.
