Primary On Hold Messaging Goal

Since we began serving The Kellermeyer Company in May of 1995, the goal of their On Hold Messaging has been to introduce and/or raise awareness of specific products in a funny or light-hearted way. The humor keeps Kellermeyer customers engaged and on the line.

Client Testimonial

“Having humorous on hold messaging has been a benefit to Kellermeyer. Our callers really enjoy being on hold. In fact, some have asked to be put back on hold to finish listening. At one point we tried to change to [strictly informational copy], but our callers complained, so we went back to humor. Our customers are also aware that we change our messages quarterly, and they make comments about each quarter's new messages. Also, by focusing on products that are big movers during a specific timeframe - such as ice melt in the winter - customers add on to their orders.” - Jill Kegler, President & C.O.O. / The Kellermeyer Co.
