For a more modern example of a bad choice of hold music, let’s take an example I have to endure on a regular basis, Month of Sundays by Passenger. At CD quality it’s got lots of interesting stuff going on, which you’d imagine might be ideal to distract someone from the fact they’re being kept on hold for ages. However, playing it over the phone it’s simply too busy. As soon as the brass and backing vocals kick in it just sounds yuck.
On-hold music is considered standard in business phone systems today because people actually perceived wait times as shorter when they hear it. On-hold music traditionally worked by having specialized equipment attached to the phone, and the jack might plug into the radio, then tapes, then CDs, then MP3 players. PRI boards are built with jacks to play on-hold music.
Since your information will be on a recorded loop, it is good practice to include music in between loops to break up the information for the consumer.

Suddenly, your optimism regarding the call takes a nose dive as your Customer Service Representative says flatly, “I’ll have to put you on hold while I look into this for you.” Or, worse yet, “Let me transfer you to the right department. You’ve reached the [insert the name of a department that has nothing to do with your needs] department.”
How to make sure the callers do not hang up and keep waiting for the next available client rep? You ask them!
Start with a Warm Greeting. When customers get to your on-hold message, let them know who they have called and offer a very brief introduction to your business. Example: “ Thank you for calling ABC Plumbing, Tampa’s most trusted plumbers for over 20 years .”. Let the caller know what they should expect to happen next.
Let’s face it, customers who call to a business don’t want to be on-hold. The best on hold message is no hold at all!
This is the BIGGEST FLAW / WEAKNESSS of weave. Please add a multicast loop option that can play our message on hold file continuously and drop patients in as they call. Otherwise people hear the same thing over and over. This is a perfect way to help introduce patients to the office and market our services while patients are on hold.
The way all your words and sentences come together gives your script a distinct written tone. Combine that with a specific speaking tone to create an on-hold message that reinforces your brand and product set. Selecting the correct tones will ensure your intended message is communicated effectively. If your target market is the younger generation, then a tone which embodies fun and excitement would be most suitable.

How about an on-hold message combined with a custom jingle for your business? Remember, jingles create a tune that all your customers will remember is your tune. Even with just our licensed music, your message on-hold means your customers will remember that catchy tune along with “Our Company won the Gold Star for International shipping” or “We now have the new 4K TVs for sale”. These are the kinds of advertising tools that Advanced Productions encourages your business to use —and we provide for you!
