0800 case study
Free calls lead to holiday sales bonanza
Our client - a company renting holiday apartments - has seen a significant increase in sales after choosing an 0800 number to use in its advertising. The cost of paying for customer calls has been repaid in extra profits - more than 20 times over.
The challenge
The company needed to be more profitable. Most calls would last 20 minutes - and half would result in sales worth around £167 each. But despite good margins, the company just didn't get enough calls from adverts. They needed to increase their 800 sales per year.
The solution
Using a dmConnect 0800 number costing 2.05 ppm (the rate for their call volume), the company needed only a 1% improvement in leads to justify the extra cost. In fact, the results far exceeded their expectations.
Business benefits
- Sales increased by 15%, generating £20,040 additional profit.
- The cost of the 0800 number was just £933 for first year (gold fee £100, rental £5/month and calls at £64/month).
- Having an 0800 number gave the sales team more confidence in their ad campaigns.
- Customers no longer fretted about the cost of calling the company, making them more relaxed and likely to buy.
Companies can enjoy a speedy return on their 0800 numbers - with all the extra business they win. Sign-up is free, rental is just £5 per month and you can pay as little as 1.3p per minute for calls from customers.
