On-hold messaging from On-Hold Technologies is an effective marketing tool that turns dead air into additional opportunity.
When your callers have to be placed on hold, they are a captive audience. Filling those few minutes with a well-crafted message about new products/services, lesser known products/services, or current promotions will educate and motivate your callers, resulting in increased revenues for your business.
On-hold messaging benefits your company by:
- Building credibility
- Improving customer relations
- Increasing sales
- Decreasing the number of callers that hang up
- Reducing frustration while on hold
- Reinforcing ad campaigns
An expertly produced on-hold message will enhance your company’s image and will help you retain call volume.
Research shows that 90% of callers hang up after 30 seconds of silence, and after 70 seconds with just music, but a message that combines custom messages with music will keep callers on the line for 4 minutes, 15 seconds.
Messages-on-hold are effective because you’re passing along information at precisely the right time, when the next person your caller visits with will be a member of your staff.
Sales and Marketing Management Magazine found that…” when placed on hold, 85% of callers preferred to hear messages about the company’s products rather than canned music; and between 15% and 20% of those who hear such messages made purchases as a result.”
This is what our clients have to say:
“Most importantly, new customers hold longer without hanging up, and I no longer feel rushed to hang up with one customer to get to another… your system adds to my company’s credibility and professionalism…”
