30/11/2011 - EFFECTIVE TELEPHONE MESSAGE ON HOLD PROGRAMS

Christmas Messages
With the festive season fast approaching, your mind is probably on planning your Christmas break, buying Christmas presents or looking towards a bustling New Year. With everything going on, the last thing you probably want to think about is your on hold phone messages. But, by utilising your on hold phone messages over this time, you can actually use them to inform your customers of when you are closed over the break and also give them a feel good thank you message.

A record number of Media Messages clients have taken up this opportunity to do exactly that, which has kept our creative team busily crafting away lovely Christmas messages just like little Christmas elves! Here are some great examples of how you could use your on hold messages to spread Christmas joy this year too!

XMAS MESSAGE MVO: (SFX: Xmas music) The Management and staff at Wilson Port Phillip, would like to thank all our Vendors, purchasers, Landlords and tenants for their patronage over the past 12 months, and wish you and your family all the very best for a safe and happy festive season. We look forward to continuing our professional relationship with you during 2012 and beyond under our exciting new brand of Wilson. We would also like to advise you that our office will be closed from 12.30pm Friday the 23rd of December and reopening in the New Year Tuesday the 3rd of January 2012.

As well as using an on hold message to inform your customers of when you are closed, why not use them to let your customers know of great Christmas specials like the messages below.

(SFX: Santas - HO HO HO)
FVO: Have you made Santa's nice list this year? Wal's Pharmacy has, and that's why we're extending the Christmas cheer with our massive Christmas sale!! Right now in store we have 20% off giftware... 20% off a huge range of toys for the kids... 20% off his and her fragrances...
And because we know you will find all the gifts you will need for the whole family under one roof- we will even take the hassle out and gift wrap for you. You better be quick...(SFX: Santas- HO HO HO- Merry Christmas, reindeers take off)

MVO: It's close to Christmas and all through the house,
kids presents are wrapped, but you forgot for your spouse!
Lucky for you Wals Pharmacy are champs,
They have 20% off giftware like candles, frames and lamps.
Body care ranges and aromatherapy, to help relax the body and mind,
Vases, Albums and Novelty items- Wals Pharmacy will giftwrap because they are kind.
Giftware for all ages, you have no excuse while you are here,
Not to pick up a gift for someone you hold so dear.
