A promotional message, also known as on-hold marketing, is a recorded commercial or informative message that is played alternately with music whilst on hold. It is an effective way of drawing the attention of callers who are already interested in your business to upsell opportunities, events or new services.
Silence on hold is a missed opportunity. A subtle promotional message, recorded with the right intonation, sparks interest and ensures that the caller perceives the waiting time as shorter and more informative. Whatās more, thereās a good chance theyāll bring up the product straight away when they speak to a member of staff.

Not if itās subtle and relevant. Make sure the advert adds value, intersperse it with music, and ensure the voice doesnāt sound too āloudā. Be careful how often you use it.
Preferably whilst on hold (on-hold marketing). It is also possible to include a short introduction immediately after the welcome message, but use this sparingly so as not to keep the caller waiting too long before the menu.
If you run seasonal promotions (such as Black Friday or summer sales), it is advisable to update these periodically. Ensure that old promotions are removed in good time to avoid confusion.
