Not to mention it's completely illegal to play the radio to callers on hold. Although the radio station has the appropriate license to broadcast music, your business does not, and that could leave you paying major fines.
On Hold Messages from Impact help you stand out from competitors, make more sales, and keep clients happy.
It makes sense to keep these callers informed while they wait with Custom On Hold Messages… informative messages, mixed with music.
If you're not actively planning content for your on hold program, and, say, play the radio on hold, you're not controlling what you're playing on hold. You're at the whim of a Radio DJ or program manager, who might play music that's unappealing to your callers or who might be producing and playing ads for your competition.
A custom on hold message, mixed with on hold music ensures that callers know they are being kept on hold. This is important so customers do not feel abandoned or that they have possibly been disconnected. If there are no on hold messages or music at the end of the line, many callers will not wait long before hanging up. If you can provide them with some useful information, on hold phone messages can keep your callers online for considerably longer, allow time for your operators to answer and reduce the stress of callers.
Record and play the message while the caller is waiting to be connected. An excellent way to professionally introduce your business to the callers and set it apart from the competitors.
5.0 out of 5 stars Solved our royalty-free hold music problem It works perfectly as advertised and solved our royalty-free hold music problem.

It has such a wide selection that callers get different music every time they call - it does not noticeably repeat. We even got a few compliments from clients in the first month (who had apparently got tired of our old 45-second repeating loop). Terrible product, will not work at all I have purchased 2 of them hoping it was a glitch but neither work, in addition I called support, no help at all, said they would call back-never did.
