Even if you have a VoIP telephone system, your call will eventually go across the PSTN (like the traditional landline calls), where network operators are able to do whatever they like. Plus VoIP and mobile operators use high-compression codecs that degrade the overall quality of the sound. A good codec can take a 9600bps audio stream (toll quality ISDN voice) and take it down to the required bandwidth by a factor of 10 or more.
“Superbly written copy and extremely dry humor that was a perfect match for what could've been a dull subject. I laughed out loud at points, and when a caller starts with that reaction, it's a great way to start a conversation.” - Jim Hausfeld / On Hold Messaging Association's MARCE Awards Judge
“Call center operators who picked up the phone reported feeling less emotionally exhausted when dealing with customers who heard standard pop music.” –Time, “Why Music on Hold Drives You Crazy”

Corporate cost-cutting and new technology have resulted in the advent of automated systems that can make the on-hold experience even more frustrating. It can feel near-impossible to get a human on the phone these days, which a national survey conducted by Consumer Reports found to be Americans' second-greatest annoyance, after hidden fees but beating out inaccurate weather reports and dog poop. Green observes that often people call as a last resort, because something on the website wasn't clear, perhaps, and they really need an answer quickly. So callers are captive listeners, a state often associated with the gridlock of waiting, whether in line at a Starbucks, in a dentist's chair, or in the proverbial elevator making its slow way up.
The decision to update your on-hold message depends largely on the content you are sharing. If you are sharing content that includes short-term promotions, this information will need frequent updating so consumers are always aware of the status of any offers. However, if you’re only sharing general information about your standard products, your operating hours and location, then the decision to update the message can be more reliant on metrics.
Our experiences over the years with OnHold Studio and in particular with Tom Harrison have been exceptional. Tom has provided timely communication and assisted us as a business in finding the right set up to meet our growing needs. In addition, Alexia has been fantastic, I can highly recommend their services for those that require it for their business. I really cannot recommend Onhold Studio enough. Brilliant service over the years and better still, very consistent. With best wishes, Glenn.
