The secret to a good on hold messageWe have all been put on hold when making an important call. While on hold you may hear music or someone talking during this time. Not everyone has the same taste in music and to be safe most companies will choose soft or easy listening music to stage during the hold message. You may also hear an automated voice that will come on the line to tell you that your call is very important and your call will be answered by the next available consultant or assistant. You may be on hold for one minute or twenty minutes. The longer you wait the more frustrated you get. If you run your own business you understand the importance of a good hold message for your customers to hear while you are taking care of other business. Your on hold message can combine background music but it also gives you a chance to offer your customers information about your business or service. If you have sales you can include that on your on hold message so while the customer is on hold they can hear about the latest sales. This may inspire a customer to shop in your store for the latest sale. A good on hold message will not bore the customer either. You don’t want to have a message that just goes on and on without getting around to the point. This will let the customer know that you just don’t have anything good to offer. Your on hold message can include the words from your custom script. You can use voiceovers to talk about your business, and of course, don't forget about the background music. Your custom script can include your business name, your store hours, a little about your business and what sales you offer currently. You can have all of this information read by a voiceover who will announce your business in a custom voice. You can have your on hold message professionally made just for you. Most companies may charge a lot of money to customize your on hold message. You can decide on all the specific details that will make you’re on hold message more about you instead of your business in general. Having a professional on hold message for your business can increase your sales and make the caller feel as though they are very important to you, which they are. Without them your business would not be profitable. Your customers will find out about products that they don't normally hear about nor have time to listen to. Your on hold message will be the key to increasing your income without spending a lot of unwanted advertisement. People already want your business or they wouldn't call to begin with. That is why it is important to have an on hold message that is personally made for the type of business you are in. You can also use the on hold messages to tell your customers about store hours, your website address, and an alternative phone number and about your new inventory that you now have in stock. |
