NEW REMEDY FOR NEW NEEDS<br />
With a lot of effort from service providers, a proper toll free service was launched in India which was<br />
accessible from all types of phones (mobiles / landlines ) of all major operators. <strong>Reliance</strong><br />
<strong>Communications</strong> took a major lead in ensuring that a truly world-class toll free service is made available<br />
to the market.<br />
Over last few quarters, the toll free service has matured and thanks to few good ad-campaigns, the<br />
prospects are not “shying away” from this number. It is well reported that some savvy consumers are<br />
now regularly updating the data of all toll free numbers and circulating the same rapidly using orkuts and<br />
facebooks of the internet world, among other ways and means.<br />
How it adds value to existing infrastructure/ helps in changing scenarios?<br />
Ease of recall<br />
The sooner you avail a Toll Free number service to<br />
reach out to your prospects, the more time and<br />
opportunities you will have to publish the same.<br />
The exacting competition out there further<br />
emphasizes the recall – “READ & CALL” – value.<br />
With so many distractions for the eye-share and<br />
mind-share of your prospects, the least that can be<br />
done is to quickly offer a toll free service for them<br />
to contact you. Needless to say, almost every such<br />
call is a “filtered” and “very-easily-convertible” lead<br />
for you……<br />
Measure the effectiveness of marketing<br />
campaign<br />
One of the key features of a toll-free number, also<br />
known as 1800 number, is the ability to use it as a<br />
dip-stick or to gauge the effectiveness of<br />
marketing. Toll free number’s call history can tell us<br />
things like how many customers called, where they<br />
called from, and what time of day they called. One<br />
can take this information and use it to create, edit,<br />
and launch innovative and effective marketing<br />
campaigns. For example, one can send out two<br />
different direct mail marketing pieces, each<br />
containing different offers and different toll-free<br />
numbers. The responses obtained will provide<br />
invaluable analysis of the marketing efforts. One<br />
can find out which offer performs better, which<br />
areas of the country express more interest in a<br />
particular offer, and the times of day people<br />
respond to the advertisement.<br />
Value Adds of the service<br />
Allow the prospects reach to you on phone<br />
without any charges to them.<br />
Give regional flavor to your callers….direct the<br />
calls to agents speaking different languages<br />
Direct the calls to different locations based on the<br />
time of the call<br />
Generate MIS – Time &Region wise distribution<br />
of calling numbers, area wise effectiveness of the<br />
campaigns as explained earlier.<br />
The service is enabled by using an Intelligent<br />
Network (IN) platform which is a high end switch<br />
that stores, retrieves and acts upon specific<br />
information about behavior of call termination. The<br />
IN platform enables the product with some unique<br />
features that make this service a desirable tool for<br />
every marketer.<br />
