Phonamations produces customized six-minute on-hold messages combining professional voice talents, licensed background music and creative copywriting. These messages are heard by your callers placed on hold using digital equipment that seamlessly integrates with your current phone system. Phonamations produces messages approximately six minutes in length. This allows your callers to hear a strong promotional message regardless of when they are put on hold. Our system constantly plays your message. Therefore, when your caller is placed on hold, they will hear the message currently playing within the six-minute loop, ensuring frequent callers won’t hear the same message over and over.
