Corporate phone numbers

Are these a thing of the past? Or are they still a useful marketing tool.

Remember when having a round number (ending in 000 or 5555) was a really important part of your business marketing positioning? We slaved to get the same 4 digits for all our regional offices back in the day.

Today, I’m calling Harcourts Real Estate in Brisbane – head office for a kinda large real estate business. Their switchboard has a voicemail. I left a message on 18th March – called again today – still on voicemail.

What message does that send?
