You have your callers attention and it’s time to tell them about your services and products. On hold messages is a valuable marketing tool that you should take full advantage of. Things to consider when you write your on hold messages script: Why are your callers on hold?• What do they have in common? What could you say to benefit your caller? Do you have any special offers or promotions that your callers will buy into? Is there a ‘must have’ service or product that will excite your caller? Have you won any awards or gained recognition for products or customer service? How can you use the time your caller is on hold to generate awareness and sales? Once you have your script, always us a professional female or male voiceover.
For those still using analogue or digital phone systems, voice on ISDN circuits has a bandwidth of around 4000Hz. The audio from an analogue phone is sampled at 8000Hz, and because of the nyquist theorem, must be low-pass filtered to 4000Hz. So any frequencies in the audio beyond 4000Hz are lost. Interestingly, the human ear and mind are good at recognising human speech, so this is considered "toll-quality" voice, i.e. good enough to pay for. This is the reason why certain vocalised letters are difficult or impossible to tell apart on the phone. For example, the differences between B, P, T, C, etc. are almost entirely above 4000Hz.

In order to get started with custom on hold messages, you will need to determine your phones MOH (Messages On Hold) capability. If you’re using a traditional pbx business phone system, you’ll need an on hold media unit to play the audio. If you’re using an ipbx or hosted voip set-up then all you need to do is upload the audio file as no media device is required. And, if your a small/home office business using a traditional off-the-shelf 2-4 line telephone then you’ll need the media device and an on hold module adaptor in order to make your standard analog phones on hold message compatible.
