Music on hold is available so that when callers are on hold, they have a pleasant atmosphere and have some strategic patience whilst we try to use the call answering service via VoIP Business. VoIP Business has a sound library that allows each individual line and extension in our office phone system to be customised.
So, given that hold music is such a powerful potential source of frustration, why do companies continue to get it wrong? Reading the articles that are out there, there seems to be a lot of speculation regarding the best choice of music to placate or even entertain customers while they wait in your queue. Some common suggestions include “Hanging On The Telephone” by Blondie, or Lionel Richie’s “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”. Or how about looking up the customer’s record in your call centre CRM, grabbing their date of birth, and playing something based on their age range - pop for the under 25s and presumably something fusty for the oldies?
With our on hold marketing service called MOOD: Voice, you not only get that chance but you can also let the customer know about other products and services you offer. With Mood:Voice you can change your message as little as once a year or as often as once a week, it’s completely your choice. Please give us a call to schedule an appointment to talk about your business… We’ll even put you on hold if you want to try it out! Better yet, click the button for a sample.
Once you’ve selected a professional on-hold messaging voice-over artist, we can help you hone the script prior to recording. After recording, we’ll mix the voice-over with your selected library music track. There are lots of great sites to buy library music. We frequently use Audio Jungle, but there are many others.
Considering the relatively low cost of getting on-hold marketing messages recorded and hosted, it’s surprising, so many businesses fail to consider this a priority. Investing in such a business function only adds another layer of professionalism to your service line.
Mixes of Mozart and Beethoven’s classic symphonies are a great way to keep customers engaged as they wait to get on hold.
Choose from male or female voice talent, and from multiple voice tones including natural, energetic and professional. Select one that best suits your brand and industry. Our Voice Artists are some of the most experienced in Australia and have produced countless voice overs including TV and Radio Ads.
On-Hold Messaging has proven benefits when it comes to phone call retention rates and in helping to upsell new products and services. Fewer Hangups Giving your callers something informative or entertaining to listen to keeps them on the line and avoids the dreaded hangs ups - which may result in the loss of a sale.
"The On Hold Marketing scripts BusinessVoice creates are not only funny, but also informative. They provide valuable information about specific aspects of my operation that some may not be aware of. In the 15+ years I’ve been in business, this is by far the best marketing money I have spent." - Steve Eaton / Med-Line Express Services (Hear a sample)

Verbal Content – generally, you should use 100 words to make up 1 minute of content produced with background music. In other words, one to two paragraphs per minute. The topic can range from product promotions to general company information.
Hold music keeps your callers distracted from the wait, although it should not be considered a fix for long queue times.
Your file will be delivered to you with 15 seconds of background music (or blank airtime if you do not choose background music) after the voice message. This will give you 15 seconds of music (or blank airtime) between each message when run in a loop.
