You’re about to start running a phone marketing campaign. You outline the following scenario:
- Goal: to call potential customers.
- Harmful side effect: unwanted callbacks.
- Warning: Do Not Block Your Caller ID!
If you find yourself blocking the caller ID on your phone before placing business phone calls, then you should head over to Ringio’s blog and read their post about Why Blocking Your Caller ID is Harmful. The comparison of going to someone’s house with a mask on your face and knocking on their front door, really brings home the point (no pun intended) of how blocking your caller ID can be harmful to your end goal.
Here’s 3 ways better ways to block your identity in your phone marketing campaign without blocking your caller ID:
1) Put your number in the do not call registry to avoid getting callbacks or unwanted calls.
2) Use a masked business number. For example, Ringio offers company numbers, Ifbyphone offers dynamic and toll-free numbers and Google Voice provides free numbers. Today, businesses can use masked numbers to achieve the same purpose as blocking caller ID, without causing the same the negative associations.
3) Use a call routing system to route your incoming calls to the right place. Improving your business’s incoming call management can decrease your need to protect yourself from unwanted incoming calls.
