On Hold Services - Music and Professional Recordings

Voice and Music for Your Business

What do your callers hear when you put them on hold?

You have probably spent a great deal of time and money developing the appearance of your business; Brochures, Logos, Van Liveries, Exhibitions, Advertising etc, but few people ever consider how they sound! We live in a world full of sound. In order to fully coordinate your marketing efforts, your business should of course look good but how does your business sound to your clients?

Your telephone system is one of the most important tools that your business owns and uses. One of the features that is used more than any other is the On Hold button. Whilst your callers are holding what do they hear Silence, beeps, music, a jingle?

A recent industry survey highlighted the following facts:

  • 7 out of 10 business callers are put on hold.
  • A small business transferring 8 calls per hour will leave callers on hold for 200 hours per year.
  • 90% of callers will hang up after 40 seconds of silence and 34% won't bother to call back.
  • The average business caller spends 40 + hours on hold each year.
  • Average hold and call transfer time is increasing each year. At present the average time spent on hold per call is 45 seconds.
  • 95% of marketing budgets are spent on gathering calls while only 5% are spent managing the calls.
  • 90% of callers preferred on-hold messaging to other options.
  • Up to 20% of callers made a purchase after hearing an offer while on hold.

Our customised On-Hold package can help you to take all of these facts and use them to your advantage!

Using the latest version of Steinberg's Cubase SX at the heart of the studio, the studio has a range of hardware and software at its disposal, from the awesome Proteus 2500 sound module to classic synths like the Korg Prophecy, Roland JP-8000 and Novation Supanova. On top of all this, their suite of software covers everything from Cakewalk's Project 5 to Propellahead's Reason and Adobe Audition - all top drawer, recording industry standards.
