Telephone On-Hold Messages

Introduction

Messages On Hold can be used to inform, entertain and educate callers. The valuable time when a caller is on hold can be used to tell the caller about the business, its products, history and quality awards. On-hold messages can be effective to enhance business reputation, prevent caller hangups and increase sales while keeping callers entertained, informed and up to date.

Equipment Options

Intelligent Messaging Software The most advanced on-hold messaging option is Intelligent Messaging Software. Software runs in the background on your office computer and plays the on-hold messages continuosly. By being computer based, the software is a much more affordable option and offers advanced features such as message scheduling. For more information about the Intelligent Messaging Software including free downloads and generic messages see: IMS Home Page.

Compact Discs For a more stand alone solution, compact discs can be recorded which will then play to your callers on repeat. CDs offer good audio quality but do not offer other advanced features such as messaging scheduling and user control.
