Wall Mounted Landlines
Do you remember having a landline? A wall-mounted phone, with the extendable cable that you had to pick up and navigate around your living room, to make sure that no one tripped over it, or pulled the cable from the wall mid conversation?
That curled cable that got as twisted as unwashed hair and just as hard to untangle? The phone plugged into the wall, that when it rang the whole family jumped up to answer it to see who it was calling at this hour?
The landline might soon be a thing that you see in museums or read about in history books. It is getting faded out and the Mobile Generation is advancing. With everyone from the age of 6 and up having their own mobile phone, is there still a need for the landline phone?
Landline Numbers are still essential
The landline phone number remains one of the most important contact points for a business. Yes, businesses these days have Live Chat, emails, SMS, and social media for contact points, but more than 2 thirds of people still say that resolutions are faster over the phone. Complaints are deal with faster, sales converted better, products and services explained clearer. The landline number remains a vitally important element of every business’s contact strategy.
If the desktop phone is being replaced with mobile phones, or computer-based telephone technology, and landline wall-mounted phones are nearly extinct, how can you still effectively use a landline number?
Customers prefer to call a landline number. If your business only has mobile phone numbers, it looks like there is no fixed office space. If your business has a local number in the nearest city to the customers, that local presence can generate trust and sales. Landline numbers show that your office is nearby should they need to call in and speak to someone. Landline numbers are cheaper to call and usually included in free minutes on mobile plans. Landline numbers show that you have an office. Even when you don’t. Landline numbers can also show that you have an international office. Your business has just grown significantly by having a New York number, which you answer from your cottage in the New Forest.
Landline numbers on mobile phones offer the best of both worlds.
