Apart from being an extremely important marketing portal for your business, telephone messages on hold supplied by Corporate Sound can also save you hundreds of dollars in fees. That’s right, the likes of the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) and the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) are well within their rights to charge businesses for playing commercial radio and music tracks on their telephone lines.
If you are playing protected sound recordings, then you could be hit with charges of up to:
| 1- 5 lines: | $295.83 |
| 6 – 10 lines | $455.70 |
| 11 – 20 lines | $820.51 |
| 20 – 50 lines | $1,634.17 |
| 51 – 100 lines | $2,886.58 |
| 101 – 200 lines | $5,165.06 |
| 200+ lines | At least $8,816.95 |

Customised Telephone Messages On Hold vs. Radio
Apart from the enormous fees for playing radio to your callers on hold, you are also at risk of advertising your customers. Imagine … your competitors have a radio campaign playing on the radio station you play to your callers on hold; chances are you won’t even know about it until it is too late, as you are probably too busy focusing on your business rather than what is being played to your callers. Worse still, you could be playing completely inappropriate music to your callers.
With customized telephone messages on hold, you have complete control over what messages and music is played to your callers – and with Corporate Sound’s message on hold programs you pay an outright fee, so once you’ve paid for your product, you don’t pay anything else … unless you want to update your messages, and we will do that for a very competitive rate anyway.
Your phone time with your callers is invaluable; so make the most of it, and educate and entertain them with professional produced audio and music productions for your on hold system.
