Digital On Hold Messages

Businesses without an on hold message or on hold service have to rely solely on an answering machine to intercept calls whenever someone is unable to answer a call. This proves inconvenient for current customers, and can sometimes lead to potential customers looking elsewhere for business. Any business needing to upgrade to an on hold service should rely on the recording expertise of a professional.

Paying for Professionalism

An on hold system requires programming that can be done in house, but the recording of the actual on hold messages should receive far more attention. It's important to use high quality equipment to ensure the best sound while also using the service of a talented voice over artist to make the messages sound upbeat, positive and professional.

When designing an on hold service it's a good idea to include a few extra messages as a part of the actual hold feature. Some good message ideas include:

• News about upcoming specials
• Quick product shout-outs
• Upcoming in-store demonstrations
• Troubleshooting tips
• Location and business hour information

The above ideas can easily be incorporated into the on hold recording and set to play at random while people wait to be connected to a customer service representative.
