Could 0871 numbers provide firms with financial boost?

Date: 26/09/2011

There is currently growing speculation regarding the weak state of the UK economy and concern that financial stimulus may be required to kick-start growth.

If enterprises are concerned about their situation and whether they will survive another recession, they may be looking for ways to boost their revenue.

One solution could be to purchase 0871 non-geographic numbers, as these mean they will make money every time a potential customer or client gets in touch.

These revenue share numbers are easy to utilise as enterprises simply connect them to their existing phone line and individuals are automatically rerouted.

What is more, they also promote a national presence - something that could drive business towards companies even if they are situated in more rural parts of the country.

Customers will also pay a standard rate to contact this prefix, no matter whereabouts they are located, while the number is memorable to ensure it sticks in people's minds.
