Message On-Hold Service

Audio Media Services – Message-On-Hold since 1989.

Here’s why our Message On-Hold works!
  • Over 80% of all business calls made in the U.S. are put on hold.
  • 60% of callers to a business who hear silence will hang up before the call is picked up.
  • 88% of callers to prefer personalized on-hold messages and will listen to the content of the message.
  • 14% to 20% of callers make purchases based on information obtained while listening to messages.
  • 94% of a typical business’s marketing and advertising budget is spent on trying to convince a potential client to call the business, yet only 6% is spent on first impression communication once the call is answered. The client calls, and then typically hangs up!
  • The average on-hold time for callers to a business with 2 or more line phone system is 35 seconds.
  • Callers to a business offering information on-hold will listen for up to 3 minutes.

When someone calls your place of business, the first thing they want is – are there ‘real’ people here, eager and anxious to meet my needs? The real question to you is – how to ensure a great first impression?

We provide a position-related, personalized message on-hold service, using your company staff members to record the prompts – from your place of business, right over the phone!

When the caller on-hold hears the voice of a staff person talking, they immediately enter your world. Your employees, managers, or owners mention details about upcoming special promotions, tell the caller something about their job description, and thank them for calling. Immediate personal contact.

All of this happens while your caller is waiting – in a captive environment – for someone to pick up the phone. Remember, you already have their attention – they called you – so make sure that they can get to know you from the beginning of the relationship.

WHY HAVE PERSONALIZED MESSAGE ON-HOLD?
  • Soft sell your best market – the people who called you!

  • Increase Customer Service – Give personnel-delivered information to callers while they’re waiting.
