Toll Free Number Tricks: Preventing Prefix Misdials
We’ve all misdialed – swapping a couple digits or mashing multiple numbers by accident. We get connected to some random stranger who sounds nothing like who we were expecting, and we fumble for an embarrassed explanation before hanging up.
With 866, 877, and 888 prefix toll free numbers, the main cause of misdialing is in the prefix. 800 numbers have been around considerably longer than these other numbers, so “8-0-0″ is the default in the minds of your customers. If they don’t have your contact info handy, there’s a risk they might fill in the blank with the wrong prefix.
Here are some easy ways to prevent prefix misdials.

The Right Size Virtual Phone Number for Your Local Business
Choosing the type of virtual phone number that’s right for your local business can be a tough decision.

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each type of virtual phone number to help you make an informed choice.
Improving Your Small Business Website: Heatmaps
You’ve done it – you’ve launched your small business website. You’ve deployed your advertising army and are ready to sit back and watch visitors come pouring in. You eagerly await that first person to sign up online, or that first person to pick up the phone and dial your toll free number. But wait, there’s something wrong… nothing’s happening! Your analytics package tells you people are coming to your website, they’re just not doing what you want them to do. Is your call to action not clear enough? Do they not see your toll free number? What are you missing?
It’s time to stop guessing and know exactly how your visitors see and use your website. It’s time for heatmaps.
