A Local Fax Number Can Help Your Business Quickly Establish Camaraderie with Prospects

Research reported in the Huffington Post* has found that today’s customers (including business customers) prefer to work with local companies — partly out of a sense of pride in supporting local business, and partly due to a sense that a neighborhood company will provide better service than a large national corporation.

With this in mind, if your company’s products or services are aimed at local customers, one easy way to establish this all-important local-company trust is by setting up local fax numbers that begin with your city’s area code.

A Local Fax Number Signals to Prospects That Your Team Possesses Unique Local Knowledge and Expertise

Let’s say you run a mid-sized real estate agency, or a transportation and logistics company — or some other type of business where your deep knowledge of the area is a strong selling point with customers.
