When your callers are on-hold, it’s a perfect opportunity for you to promote your business, company, products or services. It’s also an opportunity for you to provide generic tips and content that will catch the interest of your callers. This strategy is called being abundant and being abundant in the business climate today can yield your business more dividends by directly increasing the loyalty and satisfaction of your business clients.
For example, if you have the same people calling multiple times a week and being put on hold for long periods of time, it might be useful to update your messaging more frequently so they are getting value out of the time they are spending on hold. The more specific and targeted your voice messages are, the more impactful and successful they’ll be as a marketing tool.
Before we get into “Step-By-Step Guide to Custom On Hold Messages” it’s important to understand the value of having custom on hold messages for your brand.

A recent study by Marchex shows that Americans spent more than $1 trillion in mobile “click-to-call” commerce, and there was over 93 billion consumer-to-business phone calls from smartphones and this number is expected to grow to a whopping 162 billion by 2019, 70% of callers are placed on hold 62% of callers hang-up in less than 45 seconds 34% of callers who hang-up will never call back.

"Nice delivery of the humor! [It] would keep an on-hold caller waiting to hear what comes next." - Ricky Roo / On Hold Messaging Association's MARCE Awards Judge
Regrettably for my purpose, the software requires that you add a "message on hold", which makes perfect sense for this devices intended purpose, if not for my own use. But I worked around the problem by recording a second of silence and then adjusted the software the effectively play only my cheesy elevator music.
It’s important to ensure the content is informative and relevant to the caller. And the rule ‘less is more’ very much applies to writing for the ear. It’s important to keep the sentences short and to the point. A popular way to get a message across is follow this structure: Introduce the topic in the first sentence e.g. Did you know that BusinessCo now offers no contract plans for hosted PBX and business VoIP?
