UK Local numbers: Give your business a local face
Local
There are times when it pays to look like a local company. A range of UK local numbers (often all diverted to the same sales line) can help give a business 'local presence' — which is important whenever people prefer to 'shop local'.
dmClub stock numbers from all UK local areas: Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh, and many many more.... By using a range of local numbers, regional and national companies can create the impression of having 'local offices' - using the flexibility offered by online controls and diverts. Many companies buy numbers from areas adjacent to their real base, and use them to good effect in local newspaper advertising and the yellow pages.

UK Local case study
'Local offices' help plumber prosper
Our client, an ambitious young plumbing company based in Derby, was eager to win more business outside the immediate Derby area. They had already tried adverising in the local papers for nearby Matlock, Ashbourne and Burton-on-Trent, but the response was disappointing compared to results from ads placed in the Derby Evening Telegraph.
The challenge
Making ads placed in neighbouring papers as effective as ads placed in Derby's local paper.
The solution
When looking for a plumber people tend to call local plumbers first. By obtaining local numbers for neighbouring areas (and diverting them all to the same sales line), the plumber was able to increase the effectiveness of its yellow pages advertisng, as well as increasing response form 'local' newspaper ads.
Business benefits
- Business from Matlock, Ashbourne and Burton-on-Trent quickly increased
- Customers no longer worry about slow call-out times before ringing
- Callers get the impression they are dealing with a local company.
