0870 case study
Cosmetic change makes a handsome profit

Devon entrepreneur Alice launched her own web-based cosmetics company from home in February 2005. But the business failed to break into profit - until Alice sharpened her brand image and improved customer care by choosing an 0870 number and one of dmClub's useful add-on services.

The challenge

Alice received about 45 orders a month, averaging £37 per sale - but this barely covered her expenses, let alone a wage packet. She spent hundreds of pounds on advertisements in fashion magazines. But these generated few sales.

The solution

Alice took her business to the national stage by using a dmVoicedmVoice: Call-forwarding to UK & international numbers. Voicemail, and 'find-me' call-hunting facilities 0870 number in her adverts and on her web site. Calls are forwarded to her home and to her mobile. Alice also purchased dmAnswersdmAnswers: A PA-like human answering service - so, when she's busy, her calls are answered in her business name by a professional call centre.

Business benefits

  • The 0870 number enabled Alice to transform her image from a home-based hobby to a respectable UK fashion brand
  • Orders have increased by a staggering 65% and average sale values have risen to £52
  • The company moved into profit, earning almost £2000 income for Alice each month
  • Alice no longer worries about missing calls... the call centre does a great job.

0870 executive summary

Rapid return

Range: 0870, BT nat tariff (formerly known as "National Rate")
(dmClub numbers begin 0870-446)

Cost to call: Should be the same as calling a landline (inclusive in most call packages).

Image: Indicates a fairly big (possibly national) company who is not desperate for call traffic. Slightly unfashionable these days (as before Augusr 1st 2009 0870s used to be expensive to call) - although now they're cheaper they may lose some of the stigma!

Cost of ownership: The owner pays setup and regular rental fees. Call fees will apply on top, but may be very low for UK landline or VOIP termination.
dmClub 0870 numbers cost between 1.0 and 1.25 ppmppm: pence per minute (ex VAT) to divert to UK landlines. Fowarding to VOIP is done without charge resulting in a fixed cost service.

International accessibility: Good.

Regulatory issues: No special issues.

Mobile accessibility: Very good post August 2009.

Typical Applications: Now that they're cheap to call, we may see a return to their original purpose - i.e. a way to present a company without having a regional bias. Could be a general customer services number, or a switchboard for organisations that have national presence.


Also consider...


Choose a gold number to add to the professional feel for a fairly modest additional one-off cost. As 0870 is unfashionable, the gold number premium is usually smaller and you may pick up a bargain!

0800 numbers may be more appropriate if you're fighting for business as they're cheaper to call (except from mobiles) and more familiar.

0845 numbers are familiar as being 'not too expensive to call' but have similar ownership costs. Could be a good option (although they are scheduled for re-tariffing, probably some time in the next 2-3 years)

UK Local or 020-7 numbers are the same price to own and call, have superior international accessibility, and are generally more accepted by the public.

This information is intended to be generally relevant to 0870 numbers from whoever they are purchased. Highlighted points are specific to dmClub.
