Playing commercial music through your telephone system. First question is – why would you do this. It is incredibly expensive – as you will require licences to play any such music, you may keep customers entertained – but you’re missing a great opportunity to increase awareness about your company and potentially increase sales. Did you know that 30% of callers make purchases directly following hearing it on hold!
Any business will require a PRS & PPL licence to play commercial music through their phone system to calling/holding customers. Licence fees are dictated by the amount of lines you have connected to your business. These licences can run into thousands of pounds and even carry a custodial sentence if unpaid. Music On Hold is a cost effective, proven and much better option!
70% of callers are placed on hold every single day. What is your company policy in relation to this? Are you missing a trick – are you getting your message across – are you shouting louder than your competition – is your competition focused on making sure they get heard over you! The answer?
