Marketing On Hold, In-Store Advertising & Voicemail Messages

What is an On Hold Marketing System?

Simply put, an on hold marketing system enables you to speak directly to your current and potential customers while they're waiting on hold. It's an often missed opportunity, but one that can be very powerful if leveraged the right way. Every day, millions of customers are put on hold, and research shows that 60 percent will hang up if they hear silence - and a third of those don't call back. But marketing on hold isn't just about keeping customers on the line; it's about using the opportunity to meet their expectations and grow their value.

An on hold marketing system from Muzak includes everything your need to inform, engage, and entertain your customers. With Muzak, your on hold messaging, marketing, and music are always fresh, evolving with your business and customers. Let us show you how marketing on hold can become an effective, seamless extension of your other marketing initiatives. And, when coupled with in-store advertising and background music, your on hold messaging system is an important component of a holistic audio experience that strengthens your brand and your customers' relationships to it.

Branded On Hold and Voicemail Messages

Every person has a brand. It's the way you talk, the way you walk, and the songs you sing in the shower. It's unique, it's you. Just like people, every business has a brand, every company has a voice. From the corner hardware store to the national retail chain, it's the unique image that drives customer expectations. Your brand is a combination of what you say and how you say it. Our goal is to effectively communicate your brand to your customers. Not sure what your brand is? Muzak's Design Team will help you uncover it, making your business' voice distinct and consistent.

In many cases, the on hold and voicemail messages your customers hear create their first impression of your business. It's like being able to personally greet each customer as they walk through the door - and then guide them to the Canadian maple pool cues that are on sale, or the perfect bottle of Sauvignon blanc to go with the whitefish. From custom on hold messaging to complete audio experiences, Muzak invites you to learn why more than 80,000 businesses use Muzak marketing on hold and in-store advertising.
