Easy To Remember

There are numbers and there are numbers. An ordinary 1300 number is something that you pick out at random from a long list of numbers. While these numbers begin with a 1300 prefix, they are often difficult to remember. An example of this kind of number is 1300 352 746. On the other hand, you can have numbers that have repeating digits such as 1300 003 030. These are the numbers that have been shown to be easier to remember.

Customers Love Free Calls

A large corporation, may have multiple 1300 numbers that they can use for the different media outlets they advertise in, such as TV, print, radio, and online. This allows the company to monitor which advertising works best. On the other hand, a small home based company may use a 1300 number so that they can start doing business on a national level. It has been shown that 85 per cent of Australians prefer dialling businesses that carry toll free numbers. This is probably because the customer knows exactly how much it is costing them to dial the number.

Redirection of Calls

Many companies use a 1300 number as it allows them great flexibility. They can have the number available 24/7. This is known as time-based routing. For example, calls made to your business during normal working hours are sent to your business number. However, after office hours, any calls made will be redirected to a call centre of the companies choice. If the company has offices across the country, this means they can extend their working hours and make the most of the time difference in different states. So the early morning calls to the east coast office in Sydney and the later calls to the Perth office.

You can even buy your own 1300 numbers. Cost for maintaining one number is equivalent to the price of a daily cup of your favourite coffee blend, and will probably get cheaper with time. So you have the option to lease or buy a number.
