Toll free numbers have become very commonplace in today’s business world due to the proven success they have provided to many entrepreneurs and companies. Toll free numbers offer your potential and returning customers with a free and convenient way to contact your business and have been demonstrated to increase sales.

According to the book, “Fundamentals of High-Technology Marketing: What Marketers Need to Know,” by Ira S. Kalb:

“On average, putting a toll-free number on all mailings, direct response ads, and collateral materials will boost response by 50 percent.”

Additionally, in Kalb’s book he cites a research study through Technical Assistance Research Programs (TARP) in which a customer service research firm in Washington D.C. found that:

         “86% of consumers believe 800 numbers on packages connote quality products.”

Toll free numbers are also nationwide, opening up your business to the entire USA rather than just the local community (because let’s face it, when faced with a familiar-looking toll free number or a random area code, you’re going to go with the toll free number).
