Custom Messaging on Hold is a service that uses pre-recorded messages, music and branded content to improve your callers hold experience. Instead of dial tones, beeps or silence you can play a custom message of your choice to callers while they wait.
Ever heard a recorded message that sounded so clear that it made you think someone had answered your call? We’ve all been there. It’s frustrating when you realize you just got excited about a recording. Even worse when it happens multiple times on the same call!
We’ve implemented on-hold messages for many companies and have learned a few tips along the way.
No one wants to be stuck on hold with silence (30 seconds feels like 5 minutes!).
-After an average of 1 minute and 55 seconds of hold time most callers hang up annoyed – 34% of those callers who hang up will not call back.
Your file will be delivered to you with 15 seconds of background music (or blank airtime if you do not choose background music) after the voice message. This will give you 15 seconds of music (or blank airtime) between each message when run in a loop.

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.
Corporate cost-cutting and new technology have resulted in the advent of automated systems that can make the on-hold experience even more frustrating. It can feel near-impossible to get a human on the phone these days, which a national survey conducted by Consumer Reports found to be Americans' second-greatest annoyance, after hidden fees but beating out inaccurate weather reports and dog poop. Green observes that often people call as a last resort, because something on the website wasn't clear, perhaps, and they really need an answer quickly. So callers are captive listeners, a state often associated with the gridlock of waiting, whether in line at a Starbucks, in a dentist's chair, or in the proverbial elevator making its slow way up.
1) If you should require the necessary hardware, an experienced and reputable on-hold messaging provider should have a list of equipment options that you can choose from. They should be able to thoroughly explain the pros and cons of each, and guide you through or arrange for it to be professionally installed.
