On Hold Marketing

Voicemail Systems and Onhold Message Equipment

Most businesses spend a lot of money trying to get customers to call them, but miss a critical opportunity when that call comes. Although radio, TV, print and direct mail serve as great channels to get your advertising message across, 95% of the time that message is ignored or goes unnoticed by your target audience. When someone calls you, they are a target customer. On hold marketing serves as a cost-effective, efficient way to get your message to target customers.

Your business is unique. It has a story behind it that is different from all others. Your on hold message needs to be as distinct as that story. Millions of calls are made to businesses every day. Seven out of 10 callers get put on hold. If they hear silence, 60 percent hang up, and two-thirds of those people don't call back. Phone on hold advertising can reduce call abandonment by 50 percent. You can keep your customers on the phone by providing information, entertainment, and music. On hold marketing can promote new products and services, answer frequently asked questions, or simply make waiting on hold a more pleasant experience. Our experienced team will work with you to craft the voicemail systems and content that extends and strengthens your brand.

Muzak's custom on hold marketing strategies are proven to increase sales and build stronger relationships with clients. A typical voicemail system includes four to six different messages that alternate every 15-20 seconds. Onhold messages are separated by entertaining music that helps set the tone and energy of the production. We have the best creative team in the business to make sure your message productions are as effective as they can be. Our copywriters, voice talents, and production engineers all understand the significance of your onhold message in promoting a strong and consistent brand image.

Knowing how to deliver your message is as important. Voice is more than just the spoken word. It's not just what you say, it's how you say it. Voice creates impressions, conveys images, and builds expectations. Your on hold marketing strategy should be customized to fit your company's unique tone, energy and style. A car dealership shouldn't have the same on hold message and "voice" as a salon. Muzak Custom Voice is prepared just for you. That's what sets Muzak apart. It's your brand voice. Your company's messages. Muzak delivers it all in an engaging and persuasive way that drives outstanding results.
