Why a "Holiday Message On-Hold?" For starters it's always a good business practice to wish your customers a happy holiday, no matter which one. Don't you wish your customers a happy holiday in person? With you as the customer, don't your Vendors wish you a happy holiday? WELL, don't overlook the time your clients are on hold. Let them know you care enough to say "Happy Holidays, Happy Halloween, Happy Mother's Day," and on and on. Next, it makes good business sense to let your customers know about upcoming holiday specials and special services you offer. Everyone takes part in October - January marketing. Flower Shops and Jewelry outlets excel on Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. Perhaps your business observes special store hours for the days surrounding Passover, Memorial Day, and the rest of the holidays.

Although we wouldn't lose too much business if callers hung up, the systems certainly helps them stay connected with us while on hold. The on hold system also gives us a chance to put relevant information forward which assists in pushing our corporate identity." "We finally had the on hold music system connected by our phone people. It is now working very well and we may look at changing the music down the track too." "The MOH software has been great - we tried a CD player but then it died. We tried the radio but it kept drifting off the station. We had silence for ages but then customers didn't know if we'd hung up on them - not good customer service!"

"Thanks for great work in setting up our 'Messages on Hold' within the first 3 days we gained an extra sale, which has paid for the entire cost of the system you put in. The Evolved Sound 'Messages on hold has become an invaluable tool to let our customers know what additional services our company offers and the whole process from script writing to final installation was a breeze." "Since we have been running the on hold system, we have received a lot of positive feedback from our staff. They have said using on hold is a great way to provide customers with information that they don't already know about. We found the order process to be very easy and overall we are very happy with the end result."

The end product sounds spot on and gives us a great professional image." "Although we don't put callers on hold too much, we do receive positive feedback.

With that in mind, we know when they are placed on hold with the system supplied by Evolved Sound they will be looked after". "We used the services and purchased on hold systems from Evolved Sound for numerous Government departments. It has been a very good company to work with. The production times have been to schedule and follow-ups were good too. Overall we have been significantly happy with the service and I would give the service a rating of 8 out of 10" "Working with Evolved was great, we choose our voice over artist from the selection of recordings offered on the website. Evolved assisted us with the content of our recording offering insightful input into what makes a message work. The recording was done sooner than expected and we where happy with the review/ feedback process that evolved have in place. It gave us ample opportunity to fine tune the recording to suit our market. We valued our experience with Evolved and have no hesitation in recommending Evolved to others. GAMEHEAD will certainly be using evolved again in the future". "Since purchasing an on hold software package we have enjoyed the flexibility to mix and match messages at a whim. When there are new promotions or new models arrive, we like the ability to quickly slot in the new recordings, without having to re-record everything again. The ability to provide separate content to different car divisions from one central server has been a very useful feature too."
