On Hold Marketing

The Greater Richmond Technology Council and On Hold Marketing have entered in to a mutual affinity program to offer Council members professional messaging for your on hold clients!

On Hold Marketing is made up of advertising agency and broadcast professionals with over 80 years of combined experience. OHM is Virginia’s original message on hold company, headquartered in Richmond, with clients in some 500 locations from coast to coast.

On Hold messaging is a powerful, proven, inexpensive way to educate and entertain your on-hold clients. Research indicates that 7 out of 10 business calls in America are going on hold today. Callers are willing to stay on hold in silence for about 30 seconds. Adding music alone increases that time only by only a fraction, but by adding information, education and even entertainment through messaging, callers will stay on hold 300% longer. Research further shows that 16-22% of all callers hearing a message while on-hold will make a purchase based on that message. Introduce a new profit center to your business or company by using the professional services of On Hold Marketing.

For one low price, On Hold Marketing provides a quality turnkey program which includes: professionally written customized scripts, all music license fees, professional voice talent, digital studio production, 100% maintenance free play back equipment – fully guaranteed for seven (7) years. In addition, as a council member you will receive an additional 15% discount!

When I said that last phrase, did you think, “BusinessWire”?  If not, you should have.  Business Wire is the global leader in commercial news distribution.  Your membership in GRTC gives you and your company the ability to put your company’s news on the desktops and in the newspapers of your customers and potential customers.

Here’s how it works:  if your company has news, such as a new product or service, or a notable addition to your management team, you prepare your press release.  If you need help there, contact me: casey@mightycasey.com. 

You then contact Michael T. Toner at Business Wire or 703-243-0400 – let him know you’re a member of GRTC, and ask him for a Business Wire membership application.  Again, if you need help, I’m here to give it.

Fill out the application and send it in to the Charlotte bureau at the fax number listed on the application form.  When Business Wire receives your application, you’ll get a confirmation from them and you can submit your press release.

Your first submission will require a credit card for payment (state-wide wire service circuits start at $210.00, with subsequent releases being billed to your company.
