6 Ways To Make Sure Consumers Always Have Your Phone Number Handy

Are you making sure that your prospects and customers all have your business phone number handy for when they need you, decide it is time to actually take you up on one of your offers or even refer you to someone else? Sometimes it is just easier and faster to call and just call the company's number you have on hand when you are really ready to take immediate action. So take a look at the following seven ways to make sure that consumers have your number ready, so that they choose you.

1. Email Signature Many business people seem to be getting lazier and lazier when it comes to sending emails. Now you are often lucky just to get their name included at the bottom. Efficiency is great, but not at the cost of losing clients to your competitors. Plus it only takes a couple of seconds to set up an automatic signature with your toll free phone number in each message anyway.

2. Refrigerator Magnets Sure, this may be a little old school and you may be focusing a lot of your time on trying to break into mobile marketing. However sending out and giving away refrigerator magnets with your business phone number that permanently stays right in site and at the front of customers minds can do wonders.

3. Your Website Is your phone number easy to find on your website. Some companies don’t even have one there at all which doesn’t do much for their credibility. Though just having your number stashed away in fine print on your contact page or requiring customers to click through three or four pages to finally get a number isn’t good for business. Make sure to display your phone number clearly both on your home page and throughout your website.

This is also often the first place people will turn to look for your phone number if they are already following you on Twitter or have liked you on Facebook. Make sure that you have custom social media pages made with your business phone number in an obvious place.

5. On Your Mobile Marketing Everyone is now scrambling to create mobile websites and get their marketing messages out to mobile phones. Though why would you attempt marketing to people on their cell phones with out a prominently displayed number that can provide instant interaction and revenues?

6. Direct Mail Direct mail still remains one of the best performing marketing methods for many industries. Plus you may be incredibly surprised by the number of prospects that have been thinking about and wanting to do business with you, but just didn’t have time to look up your phone number. Put it right in their hands!
