When you begin to consider what callers on hold should hear while they wait, be sure to focus on your callers and their needs. Think about: Why are they calling? What would keep them interested and even inspired? Remember, on hold messages shouldn’t be a hard sell, but rather a soft sell or conversation with people who have reached out to you, and are in an excellent position to make buying decisions based on what they hear while on hold.

On-hold messages let your customers know you haven't forgotten about them, and they are also a great advertising tool. While your customers are on hold you can tell them why your company is the best, or tell them about new product offerings. You pay only once for production, then the air time is free!

Before we get into “Step-By-Step Guide to Custom On Hold Messages” it’s important to understand the value of having custom on hold messages for your brand. Business has always been done over the phone, and callers have always been put on hold, but as online shopping has surpassed brick and mortar traffic, over-the-phone sales have reached all time highs. A recent study by Marchex shows that Americans spent more than $1 trillion in mobile “click-to-call” commerce, and there was over 93 billion consumer-to-business phone calls from smartphones and this number is expected to grow to a whopping 162 billion by 2019, 70% of callers are placed on hold 62% of callers hang-up in less than 45 seconds 34% of callers who hang-up will never call back.

You wouldn't put a handmade sign on the outside of your office door would you? So, why have your automated attendant greetings, IVR or voicemail announcements be recorded by an amateur?

Professionally produced custom auto attendant greetings, IVR prompts and voicemail announcements enhance the caller experience, and that improves your brand image. Let The Original On Hold Be The Voice Of Your Brand!
Don’t allow their holding time to be a waste of time for them or for you as a business.
Another opportunity to improve customer service is to provide customers with self-service information. If you have help documentation or resources online, be sure to mention them on hold, so that your callers can access that helpful content on their own, leaving your staff free to help with more unique concerns.
Since your information will be on a recorded loop, it is good practice to include music in between loops to break up the information for the consumer.
If you stray away from the company brand, your audience will notice and your on hold message will backfire. People will feel tricked as they wait to talk to an actual person, and by the time they reach someone real, they’ll be furious.
