March 2026 On Hold Marketing of the Month

Humor On Hold at Work

Do you worry about placing your callers on hold?

Nate Segall doesn’t.

Are you concerned those callers might get bored and hang up?

Nate Segall isn’t.

Nate is the president of AccuShred, a high-security data protection company serving Ohio, Michigan and Northeast Indiana. Back in 2023, he chose Humor On Hold for his company.

Since then, “we’ve had nothing but compliments after putting our customers on hold,” he wrote. “Some have even asked to be put back on hold to hear more. (Yes, it’s true!)”

A few of those customers have even shared their thoughts with Nate via email:

“You have the best hold line I think I have ever been on! I was cracking up with the skits!” – Dylan K. / Small Business Specialist

“I enjoyed your on hold messages.” – Brent G. / Insurance Agent

“I want to say how much I enjoyed the messages while on hold this morning when I called. Very entertaining!” – Michelle M. / Director of Business & Operations

Want to Get People Talking?

Humor On Hold encourages callers to listen actively, so they may also want to talk about what they heard once you pick up. “I can attest that your On Hold Messaging WILL be a topic of conversation with your customers whenever you come back on the line.”

And that reaction has been very positive for Nate and the AccuShred team. “We’ve had a flurry of compliments on the humor on hold lately. Very nice to hear!”
