Why On-Hold Message Works

   


On-hold message is one of the most cost effective methods of advertising available
today. Who else is more interested in your services and products then those actually calling your company? Whether they are on-hold or calling after business hours you can inform them of the products and services you have that they can benefit from.

A study performed by USA Today revealed just how effective a professional on-hold message service is. USA Today tested three groups of 10,000 to determine their responses to being put on-hold for one minute. Here are the results:

On-hold – silence

52% of callers hang up in first minute.
27% estimated that the time they were on hold exceeded 5 minutes.

On-hold – music playing

13% of callers hang up in first minute.
28% estimated that the time they were on hold exceeded 1 minute.

On-hold – information with music

2% of callers hang up in first minute.
81% estimated that the time they were on hold was less than 1 minute.

On-hold message is a proven service and helps keep your potential customers on the line, whether your purpose is to inform, educate, or entertain them. On-hold message is flexible to meet your unique needs. Your on-hold message script can be designed to:
