"Congratulations on Best of Show! I was in charge of the [Fifth District ADDY Awards] judging and was there when we played your On Hold Messaging. Very creative. I remember the judges commenting that it was a great use of an underutilized medium. Funny (and effective) stuff. Also goes to show that you don't need to go to the big city to get great creative work." - John McCafferty / McCafferty and Company Advertising
On Hold Message 5 - You may also wish to thank your caller every minute or so and offer additional options.
.
Pay once and receive your audio within 3 to 5 working days (subject to availability).
On-hold messaging is also great time to encourage consumers to spend. For example, you can offer customers who spend more than $99 free shipping, customers who order 3 items a 4th item free, etc. Think “upsell” with your ads on hold – you’ve got the customer on the line patiently waiting to (hopefully) spend money.
Internet – No longer a need for a dedicated phone line just use the internet. Files can be sent in WAV format or MP3.

With over 1,000 pre-licensed music tracks, in many genres, you’re sure to find the perfect background music for your messages.
Even if you have a VoIP telephone system, your call will eventually go across the PSTN (like the traditional landline calls), where network operators are able to do whatever they like. Plus VoIP and mobile operators use high-compression codecs that degrade the overall quality of the sound. A good codec can take a 9600bps audio stream (toll quality ISDN voice) and take it down to the required bandwidth by a factor of 10 or more.
The included software is easy to use, although, sadly, won't work with an Apple computer (which is why I downgraded my review by one star). I solved that problem by bringing an old Windows-based computer out of retirement.
Before we get into “Step-By-Step Guide to Custom On Hold Messages” it’s important to understand the value of having custom on hold messages for your brand. Business has always been done over the phone, and callers have always been put on hold, but as online shopping has surpassed brick and mortar traffic, over-the-phone sales have reached all time highs. A recent study by Marchex shows that Americans spent more than $1 trillion in mobile “click-to-call” commerce, and there was over 93 billion consumer-to-business phone calls from smartphones and this number is expected to grow to a whopping 162 billion by 2019, 70% of callers are placed on hold 62% of callers hang-up in less than 45 seconds 34% of callers who hang-up will never call back.
