Selecting the proper music for an on hold messaging program is an important aspect of the production. Many of our clients leave the decision to us, but you may have a particular mood or tone you want to create. You can “audition” the various samples we’ve provided below. Keep the following in mind as you listen.
- Consider the profile of the client/caller that’s on hold on your system. What kind of music do they like? What’s their average age? Are they stressed?
- Be careful not to choose music that simply appeals to YOU, unless it also aligns with your customer profile.
- Be aware that the music typically lasts for 8-15 seconds between messages.
- Be aware that your program might feature multiple changes (between 2-4 musical pieces) during the course of the program.
- If you’re using a VoIP system with any degree of limited bandwidth, you should avoid selecting “busy” music featuring many instruments or high/low pitches that may not translate well over a phone line.
- Jot down the name of any piece you like.
