Using local numbers effectively for marketing campaigns

Local numbers with different area codes come in handy while targeting specific regions. Your company can seem to operate in certain regions by simply acquiring virtual local numbers having area codes of these regions. You can build a local clientele through these virtual numbers. There is no need for establishing branch offices. All the work is done through the local numbers, which does not cost much. Virtual local numbers can be procured through a service provider of Hosted PBX system. This kind of phone system are inexpensive to implement, and are especially suited for small companies who lack the resources to install a sophisticated phone system.
Local numbers can be used effectively in researching different market regions. You can publish numbers of different area codes. The response from these phone numbers will give you a fair amount of idea about the type of demand for your services. You will get a clear picture about the regions where your products or services will fare better. You can design your marketing campaigns around these results.
One of best ways to collect caller responses is to employ individual voice mail systems for each of the local number. You can program your auto attendant system to route the numbers directly to the voice mail system. The voice mail system can be programmed to play a greeting message, requesting the caller to leave a message. You can check the message later through the voice mailbox, and respond properly. Usage of voice mail enables you to deal with multiple calls simultaneously. There is no need for employing a number of call representatives for handling the calls. You can thus design your marketing campaigns in a very cost effective manner.
