On Hold AdvertisingWhat happens when callers are put On Hold at your business? Are you taking advantage of the time they spend On Hold to inform, educate and entertain them with On Hold Advertising? Think about who calls your business: People who have already made a decision that they'’d like to do business with you. Getting them to call is half the battle. Don’'t put them On Hold in silence. Use that time to tell them about all of the products and services you offer, or…things you do they may not know about in addition to whatever it is they called for. Most businesses think their customers know all of the products and services being offered. The fact is, most of your callers and customers only know about a fraction of everything you do. On Hold Advertising is the ultimate weapon when it comes to the power of suggestive selling. When your customer is already on the phone and you tell him about some of the other products and services you have to offer, you’'ll often hear this response: “Hey, I didn'’t know you did that!” And many times, it’'s followed by “Hey, I need that.” The bottom line is that On Hold Advertising is a very efficient, very cost-effective marketing tool--it'’s an investment that pays off every time. It not only pays for itself over time, but it can also help you pay for your business telephone system. As with every form of marketing and advertising, there’'s a right way and a wrong way to do On Hold Advertising. Think about it this way: when the transmission in your car starts to make grinding noises, you take it to a mechanic; when a pipe bursts in your house you call a plumber; when you’'re sick with more than a simple cough and cold, you go see a doctor. When your company’'s hard-earned professional image is on the line, rely on advertising and marketing professionals to create a quality On Hold Advertising program for you. Rely on folks with experience in writing effective messages, folks with experience in matching your messages to the right music and with access to the right professional voice talent…all of which combine to enhance your professional image.
