Where this creates an extra snag with music on hold is that the loudest part of a song doesn’t typically come in until the final chorus or reprise. This means that if you just listen to the first 10 seconds to check that your new hold music is working, then chances are you’ll be blissfully unaware that three minutes into holding (just as customers are beginning to feel irritated anyway), you start playing a sound like fingernails on a blackboard to them.

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'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.

So how do you choose the right hold music? Start with what’s appropriate for your business. A funeral home wouldn’t blast the Bee Gees. A sports arena isn’t going to stream some easy listening to the fans. Know your audience, understand their mind space, and pick your music accordingly.
Our team will guide you through our extensive music library where you can choose your favorite type of music, from jazz to rock, to urban and holiday music and everything in between.
It is likely that if you have been placed on hold, one minute can seem like a lifetime. Many of us get frustrated, hang up and don’t call back. This is why on-hold marketing can be a great tool to keep callers engaged and on the phone.
I would like to record and customize the hold message per different options but currently there is not an option for that Toni OM commented · June 3, 2020 9:22 AM · Flag as inappropriateFlag as inappropriate · Edit… · Delete…
A well written script is the cornerstone of any great on hold message. It must capture the caller’s attention, so they remain engaged while navigating menu options or waiting on hold. The script that callers hear can set the tone for the rest of the conversation. It should also be in line with your goals, which can be broken down to 3 main objectives. It can be to inform the caller, promote the brand or product, or just entertain the caller. Most of all, it has to be engaging.
