You can use an on hold message and music program to give your customers valuable information while they wait. Examples include: directions, hours, specialties, services, promotions, etc. Remind your customers of the reasons for doing business with you.
Here are a few more advantages:
- Increases your sales with powerful and inexpensive advertising
- Decreases hang-up rates (a caller who hangs up is not going to buy)
- Tells your customers what they don’t know about your company
- Keeps you out of court (playing radio or CD’s is illegal)
- Will make you money and you can take that to the bank
Telephone on hold advertising is equivalent to adding a salesperson to your staff who works continuously, selling products and services to your customers waiting on hold. Hiring another sales person would cost you a salary and benefits. Total investment in a quality on hold message and music recording is minimal by comparison.
