After building a base of loyal customers and finding offers that resonate with them, many owners and managers are hesitant to change anything that customers have grown to expect during a routine shopping experience - including advertising a new phone number for your business. When visitors are accustomed to their local takeout restaurant, auto repair shop or favorite retailer having one phone number, owners fear that changing it could result in a drop off in purchases. While this is completely understandable, to quote the early 1900’s English writer Arnold Bennett, “Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by discomforts.”

ADVERTISING YOUR NEW CALLJOY NUMBER
We know what you’re thinking, “We've had this business number for years! Everyone has it memorized and it's in all of our advertising. Changing it would just confuse our customers!" In reality, the majority of customers find a business’ phone number via simple web searches as opposed to saving or memorizing the number. In fact, 69 percent of people search online for local businesses at least once a month. Moreover, using your new CallJoy number doesn’t mean that your traditional phone number goes the way, in fact, both numbers can exist simultaneously - so there's no drawback to advertising your CallJoy number online. How, you ask?- CallJoy is compatible with your existing phone number and will route calls to your existing business number.

- Your old phone number will still work once you’ve set up your CallJoy number, but incoming calls to the old number will not be connected through the CallJoy service.
