Businesses are looking to keep their feet on the ground and the business moving in the right direction throughout this whole COVID sage that the world has found itself in. Adapting to a new normal has never been more difficult for certain businesses who are now kept in a fractured office environment, or in different territories altogether.
There have been many tactics implemented by a variety of businesses in creating a semblance of normalcy throughout the whole ordeal. There have been a few that have had more success than others in establishing a working office from remote locations. None have worked better than the virtual phone number programs that have seen an escalation and embrace from many businesses nationwide.
 What Are They?
A virtual phone number or network is essentially a number without a physical link to a singular device It’s entirely operating on the internet. A client calls this virtual phone number and it automatically is routed through a program to an associated number that is determined by the businessowner, this could be a mobile number, a separate home landline or anything in between.
Allowing An Office To Go Anywhere
Of course, right off the bat, one can see that having a virtual phone system setup for any sized business is advantageous for the current landscape. Having the ability to effectively fracture an office in different locations, and to have them remain all connected virtually as if they were in the same office.
This frees up many of the smaller or start-up level businesses to have their workers safely working from home and still maintain an effective business image and acumen. This also ensures that a business that is affected by a snap lockdown or sudden restrictions won’t have to worry about constantly moving all connectivity for workers from the office to their homes.
Affordable Home Offices
This leads directly into the second point; affordability is a massive factor in many businesses outlooks post-COVID. While there are a great many businesses opting for a split work week between home and offices, there is still the matter of the typical exorbitant fees and time-consuming task of moving phone lines from the home to the office.
With virtual phone systems, this is no longer a factor or issue, the packages are very affordable which makes sudden changes in working environments a breeze to deal with. Since the virtual number links to any designated number, a business can easily keep their standard main number and have it link virtually anywhere on a second’s notice.
Personalized Contact
Another small factor for businesses in the post-COVID world is in keeping their business on the forefront. Having the option for a vanity number is certainly a bonus in this regard as more businesses starting up or adapting to new changes should have some level of personalization and tactical advantage when it comes to living in the post COVID world. With a memorable vanity number, a business has a fighting chance of being remembered as the world recovers.
