At PH Audio, we’re always looking at ways we can improve our service. Product innovation is a big part of that drive, and we’re developing technology that will ultimately make On-Hold Marketing simpler and better to use. As our client, we see your feedback as a big part of that process.

Existing productions are compiled as a single wave file, which can sometimes mean they’re quite inflexible. We want to change that, and give you the ability and the tools to swap and remove individual prompts whenever you’d like to – the On-Hold Marketing you know but on demand.

Voice and music on hold. Are you making the most of your audio brand?

Voice and Music

PH Audio are (queue shameless plug) the on-hold marketing champions throughout Europe, so it goes without saying that we know what we’re doing when it comes to all things on hold.

That said, we do like our clients to be on the ball when choosing music and voiceovers that really represent their brands. And although our Audio Account Managers will make expert recommendations – nobody knows their business as well as the clients themselves.

It’s powerful, emotive and often controversial – music has a strange effect on us humans. Music on hold is unique in that it finds people when they’re not expecting it and can transport them (emotionally speaking) to another place.

The on hold music tracks below are the most popular choices among PH Audio clients in 2009.

They’re not listed in a particular order, because we want to know what you think – which is your favourite?

The problem with holding

Bad music on hold. Everyone’s heard it – and almost everybody’s wanted to scream about it. After all, there’s only a certain amount of time you can listen to a tinny version of In the Hall of the Mountain King without going halfway mad, hanging up, or worse, never bothering to call again. So when so many organisations make such a bad first impression, what’s the alternative? ...read more
