This brings up the ever-present question of appropriate branding for your business. At a funeral home, Green says, you don't want an upbeat pop song, for obvious reasons.

If we learned anything from Napster, it’s that music doesn’t come for free. While there are a few free music sites out there, there are plenty of royalty-free websites for finding hold music, but keep in mind you may have to pay a subscription fee or download fee. (OnSIP subscribers can access three free music channels; read on for more details.) If you’re of the mind that your business could and should use Top 40 or other recent tracks, you will have to pay royalties for the right to use them.
We offer complete consultation, copywriting, production, and system maintenance services.

This is why we offer a collection of royalty-free music channels with every account, ensuring that you

My experience with messages on hold and their representative Jaity was fantastic. This is the first review I have written in a long time but I was so surprised at how easy she was to deal with and that nothing was too much trouble. I am extremely satisfied with the service. Thank you for making this task so easy.

Remember that part about getting more bang for your buck when you use a professionally produced on hold program?

You can repurpose your Message On Hold as overhead announcements in your facility or store, as short videos, as website audio, and more. When you think outside of the box, there are many ways to take what you have and make it something more.

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.
Submit your script, or draft, along with your project details and a description of how the voice should sound (be it conversational, informative, commanding...etc) and we'll send a demo for approval.
Professionally recorded messages are the prefect addition to any 1300 number set-up. Use one or a combination of recordings to boost your business image and make a great first impression.
