Shout It Loud

As we all know we are in the midst of a full blown credit crunch, there are various companies going down left right and centre, but some companies I believe are taking the incorrect approach when trying to save there business from going under. They are putting up prices to make a bigger profit margin.

There are a variety of problems with this and one specific one is that they are not considering there clients. Its days like this when people just want to grab themselves a great bargain and not get overcharged.

I believe one of the best ways to give your customers a better offering is by offering them an 0800 phone number. Although this may cost you slightly more it will be a positive effect in giving back to your clients.

As utility bills are forever increasing and shoot through the roof people are getting very worried about making calls to anywhere especially premium rate numbers. So giving your customers a 0800 number will benefit you in on a number of occasions.

1) Showing them that they can call you at any moment any week and you will pay for the call
2) Garner respect by showing people you want to help save them money during the credit crunch.
3) Providing a memorable and easy to remember number.

As you can see there are a huge amount of benefits that's can be obtained when offering a free phone number.

The financial downfall is a very awkward situation and for those businesses that help there customers out I am sure in the long run they will return the favour by being loyal and spending there hard earned money with you.

Remember the trick of the trade is to earn respect you have to give respect.
