No one likes waiting. Customers left on hold without any background music felt that a 30 second on hold call actually lasted 90 seconds. And yet, customers thought a 30 second on hold call that utilised on-hold audio lasted only 15 seconds.
A research firm found that when callers were presented with on hold messaging versus silence or radio commercial they: would stay on hold longer, were likely to exhibit interest in the product advertised, were more likely to retain information, and were less agitated.
88% also said they would stay on the line longer if provided with on hold, and would like to to hear product information. Roughly 20% said they had made a purchase based on an offer they heard whilst on hold.
Callers stay on the line upto 25% longer when provided with on-hold messaging versus “dead air” or background music, and up to 17% longer than radio.
34% of callers who hang up will not call back. Studies also show that after an average of 1 minute and 55 seconds of hold time most callers hang up annoyed.
Poor on-hold costs customers. One study found that of the 8-15% of a company’s customer base that is lost each year, a startling 68% leave due to indifferent or negative treatment whilst calling.
Despite all of this, on-hold rarely gets the necessary care. 94% of all marketing budgets are spent on getting a customer to call. While the remaining 6% is spent on handling the call, once it’s received.
