So what can we do to avoid inflicting further musical misery on our own customers while they’re patiently sitting on hold? We could just go back to playing a ringing sound, or an intermittent beep just to let people know they’re still connected, but that would be awfully dull. The best compromise is relatively simple electronic music that doesn't have too much going on as the ideal choice for hold music as it requires far less refined sound quality to get a decent rendition down a telephone connection.
Here’s an example of some royalty-free music that we use both at CD quality and hold music quality.

Most businesses aim to answer the telephone within 3 rings but we know that isn't always possible. The research showed that a typical business using on hold marketing had 100 calls a day with an average hold time of 30 seconds for 57% of callers. This translates to half an hour a day, every day, of messaging to on-hold customers. That's 3+ weeks a year!
Your audio image is important. Phone contacts are often the first impression people have of your business. If they must hold on the phone, this is your chance to impress them with relevant greetings and telephone hold messages. Callers can be existing clients, future clients, potential customers, and they are all important. A professional voicemail recording boosts your credibility, and encourages prospects and potential connections to leave a voicemail when you can't answer the phon.

At times, a client’s messaging calls for a very specific voice, and we’ve had good success finding just the right voice for the job, even if it’s someone we’ve never worked with before.
Statistics show that approximately 34% of callers who hang up will never call you back. In addition, callers wait an estimated 70% longer on the line when they are listening to interesting information about the company they are calling. These statistics suggest that providing a customized message that is tailored to your company can be more effective than playing music or leaving the customer in silence while they’re on hold.
