It’s important to change your on hold marketing campaign with the change in season. Why? Well, besides obvious reasons of keeping your callers engaged, and increasing sales, if your message isn’t providing timely and accurate information, it may have a negative effect, and give callers with a poor impression of your business. Think about this, I’m a prospective client calling into your HVAC company, as I look outside my window and see the falling snow, I am placed on hold, and hear messages about air-conditioning services. Really, air-conditioning messages in the winter? As a consumer, in my mind, if your own business isn’t important enough to take care of, then how could I possibly expect that your competent enough to help me?
So, summer is officially over, and while we’re not suggesting it’s time to set up your Christmas display, fall is the time of the year when you collect leaves, pick up fallen branches, clean out the gutters. It’s also a great time to clean up your marketing, and make sure opportunity doesn’t fall by the wayside! Close out the year with momentum, and update your music on hold recording with personalized and relevant on hold message content to efficiently communicate with your prospects and clients.
