The numbers are huge. Each day millions of people call businesses. Seventy percent of these callers are put on hold, and if it's a 'silent hold,' one without a voice recording or background hold music, nearly two-thirds of these people hang up. A savvy combination of messaging and on-hold music can reduce hang-ups by half. Most businesses spend a lot of time and money trying to get customers to call, but very little on keeping callers on the line. One-on-one conversations with interested customers are golden opportunities. Yet most businesses don't capitalize on that opportunity.
Muzak Voice can create a customized blend of on-hold music and messages that speaks in your business' unique voice. We can also develop in-store messaging that functions with your business music programming to direct and inform your customers.
Muzak Voice creates on-hold music and messaging that speaks directly to a relatively untapped market. More than 95 percent of your radio, TV, print and direct mail unfortunately goes unnoticed by your target audience; with an intelligent on hold message campaign, supported on a bed of business music, on hold customers represent a target market that comes to you. Background hold music and messaging from Muzak can converse with these interested customers in your voice, capturing your business's distinct personality, tone, energy and style. On-hold music and customized messages created by Muzak professionals convey what you'd say if you could talk directly to each and every customer who calls your business.
Muzak Marketing On Hold uses custom messages and on-hold music to engage your customers and connect with them, deepening their relationship to your business. We focus on your brand, which is a combination of your business' personality and style, essentially what your business is all about and, thusly, what type of on-hold music and what custom messages would speak best to your customers. We get to know your business. We then discuss what goals you want your campaign of custom messages and background music on hold to achieve. Your Muzak Voice Consultant manages your campaign every step of the way, and is available as a resource throughout the process. Once we've discovered your brand voice, our creative team gets to work on your individual blend of messaging and on-hold music. Muzak's professional copywriters create creative messages, which are then recorded by our extensive cast of voice talents. Our expert production engineers and sound technicians then mix on-hold music with your custom messages, molding them into a seamless campaign. A typical message campaign consists of four to six different messages that alternate every 15-20 seconds, separated by entertaining background hold music.
