Music On Hold
Music on hold combined with the right voice message about your company can greatly improve the way you communicate with your customer and clients when you have to put them on hold. Granted, no business wants to intentionally put callers on hold, but it happens more often than we think during the normal course of a busy day.
The goal of excellent customer service is to handle every call personally with a focus on helping each caller with their needs. Though sometimes, this is not possible. Its either put the caller on hold and answer the next incoming call or let it go to voice mail. Given that choice, most business owners and top-level management would choose to put the calls on hold and provide a personal touch to other incoming callers rather than letting them go to voice mail and hope that they leave a message. The personal touch of a live human voice answering the call wins every time over voice mail. Even if its to say hello and take a message for a quick call back.
During these times a music on-hold or custom on-hold message program can keep your caller engaged with your company. Take advantage of these captive callers with a professionally crafted on hold message from Please Hold Advertising. We know what callers placed on hold should hear and want to hear.

Using a radio on-hold may sound like a cheap, low-cost idea for your music on hold source, but as the adage says, “you get what you pay for”. Imagine putting your caller on hold only to have them hear a radio commercial for your competitor. Yikes! Embarrassing? Perhaps. Foolish on the part of the business? Absolutely. In fact, using radio for music on hold is actually illegal unless you obtain the correct licensing from music publishers and royalty clearinghouses like BMI. Not to mention that you can’t control what your caller is hearing on radio on hold and let’s not forget that static and interference is a common problem. Our recommendation is to ditch the radio on hold sooner than later.
“Hey, we use the free version of on line music service Pandora for our telephone music on hold, we’re covered and don’t have to pay, right?”. News flash; No, you are not “covered”. According to the the Pandora terms of use, item 10 subsection a. “Use of Pandora for your business requires a special license to a separate service which is provided by our partner DMX, Inc. You may only use the Pandora Service in the United States for business use if you have met all of the following conditions.” Even if you go legit and pay for the license, music alone will not sell your products and services. Only a custom on-hold message with music will do the job and do it professionally and legally.
“Ok, wise guy then we’ll just use the music I paid for in my Apple Music library. There! Done.” – Sorry to break it to you, but. . . . No, you’re still not allowed to use the music you purchase from iTunes or any other music source for that matter. You see, the copyright laws give full ownership of the music to the author and or copyright holder. You may own the CD or the device the music resides on, but you don’t own the songs or have the legal right to use them to entertain your callers or customers on hold without paying the proper licensing fees. So therefore you will still have to pay a licensing fee to use your music to entertain your business callers on hold. Read here for more details.
