In an ideal world you’d never put a caller on hold, but since most of the time that’s not a reasonable expectation for those tasked with receiving calls, your hold button is necessary. And, when it comes to your business, silence is not golden. Dead air on the other end of the line is not only a waste of a golden opportunity, it can leave callers frustrated, questioning whether or not you’re still even on the line.
There aren’t many things people hate more than being put on hold when they call your company. They expect to talk to a person and to be treated like one, and instead, they’re ignored and have to spend time waiting for someone to answer. It’s annoying, and it can cost you business. Yet, there are simple ways to keep people on the line if they’re on hold, and the best one is to write an on hold message script.
.
There are three parts to a perfect on hold message: the script, the speaking tone and the written tone. And of course, there is also the music, which plays a big part in representing your business brand.
With measurable results and complete customer service, we have EVERYTHING under one roof. Even other ad agencies use us. We partner with our clients to develop continuously evolving marketing approaches. Our strategies dynamically adapt to their business for maximum R.O.I. Try us, you’ll see why we’ve been non-stop since The Backstreet Boys sang “I Want It That Way”!
The music in our on hold music section is pre-licensed, which means we can mix it with your on-hold messages without charging an additional music license. Also, this smaller selection of music is not in a PRO such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS etc. so you won't have to pay these agencies a fee for playing music on hold. You can use music from our library if you wish but there will be an additional license cost and not all of it is PRO free.

Lastly, real-time status updates are a useful way to keep track of your messaging system. With marketing automation, they can be sent to a manager for better decision making. Web-based management portals allow you to see account details as well as past and present on hold productions. This way, you can track the status of a particular customer’s production request, analytics and your on hold messages all in one place.

We offer complete consultation, copywriting, production, and system maintenance services.
Solo guitar and piano music can also be decent choices provided you avoid songs with extremes of high and low volumes and pitch. Most phone systems come with default tracks that, coincidentally, fall squarely into these categories. If you’d like something a bit different then you can find plenty royalty-free tunes available to purchase online (they’re not all that terrible), but remember you'll need to pay for a PRS license if you want to make use of tracks by a recording artist.

Music – during voice over messages, the music will be slightly raised in volume. It is important to select a piece of music that compliments your brand.
