"I selected Binkelman's [On Hold Marketing] because of the unexpected comedy, quirkiness and edge! You actually want to wait on hold and hear what is said next. The script's humor is dry and sharp. The [music] and voices are catchy. I think it's very funny and creative. It paints Binkelman's personality as being comedic, but humble. I also like to see creative pushing boundaries and not too afraid to be a little on edge." - Shaun Culbertson / American Advertising Federation Judge

Phone call analytics are certainly not something that came with the original 1960s technology. However, it has become one of the most useful aspects of on hold messages today. Now, you can track and view how calls went through an online portal connected to your messaging service. This will allow you to see when callers hung up on toll free numbers, who chose to purchase something due to the messages and more. If you want a new way to keep track of your business calls, the analytics services that come with on hold messages could be a big help.

The decision to update your on-hold message depends largely on the content you are sharing. If you are sharing content that includes short-term promotions, this information will need frequent updating so consumers are always aware of the status of any offers. However, if you’re only sharing general information about your standard products, your operating hours and location, then the decision to update the message can be more reliant on metrics.
Professional business voicemail greetings are significantly different from ones you record for individual use and complete your professional business image. They’re more generic in nature and designed to provide information to the caller while ensuring they leave a message. Where possible, explain when you expect to return calls.

No one wants to be stuck on hold with silence (30 seconds feels like 5 minutes!).
For those still using analogue or digital phone systems, voice on ISDN circuits has a bandwidth of around 4000Hz. The audio from an analogue phone is sampled at 8000Hz, and because of the nyquist theorem, must be low-pass filtered to 4000Hz. So any frequencies in the audio beyond 4000Hz are lost. Interestingly, the human ear and mind are good at recognising human speech, so this is considered "toll-quality" voice, i.e. good enough to pay for. This is the reason why certain vocalised letters are difficult or impossible to tell apart on the phone. For example, the differences between B, P, T, C, etc. are almost entirely above 4000Hz.
It’s very important to thank your customers for waiting. Being on hold is not a desirable experience for anyone. The least you can do it thank your clients for their time and to help them not feel neglected.
