Captivating Your Audience: Creating Engaging On-Hold Messages

In the world of customer service, every interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impression. Telephone On-hold messages, often overlooked as a minor detail, can actually be a powerful tool for engaging and delighting customers. Crafting engaging on-hold messages requires creativity, empathy, and a deep understanding of your audience. Here are some tips for creating on-hold messages that captivate your audience:

1. Know Your Audience: Understanding your audience is essential for creating effective on-hold messages. Consider their demographics, preferences, and interests. Tailor your messages to resonate with your specific audience, whether they're tech-savvy millennials or seasoned professionals.

2. Be Informative and Relevant: Provide callers with valuable information that is relevant to their needs. Share updates about your products or services, upcoming events, or helpful tips. Ensure that your messages are informative, concise, and easy to understand.

3. Inject Personality: Don't be afraid to inject personality into your on-hold messages. Use humor, storytelling, or a friendly tone to make your messages more engaging and memorable. Infusing personality into your messages helps humanize your brand and create a connection with your audience.

4. Incorporate Interactive Elements: Add interactive elements to your on-hold messages to keep callers engaged. This could include inviting callers to participate in a survey, trivia game, or poll. Interactive elements make the waiting experience more enjoyable and encourage callers to actively participate.

5. Offer Value: Provide callers with value while they wait by offering exclusive promotions, discounts, or incentives. This not only keeps callers engaged but also incentivizes them to take action. Make sure the value you offer is relevant and compelling to your audience.

6. Keep it Fresh: Rotate your on-hold messages regularly to prevent callers from hearing the same content repeatedly. Introduce new messages, promotions, or seasonal themes to keep callers interested and engaged. Fresh content ensures that callers have something new to listen to each time they're placed on hold.

7. Use Music Wisely: Choose background music that complements your brand and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Avoid using music that is too loud or distracting. The right music can enhance the overall on-hold experience and make your messages more enjoyable to listen to.

8. Provide Clear Directions: Include clear directions or calls to action in your on-hold messages. Whether you want callers to visit your website, follow you on social media, or sign up for a newsletter, make sure the next steps are clearly communicated. Clear directions help guide callers towards further engagement with your brand.

Conclusion: Creating engaging on-hold messages is an effective way to captivate your audience and enhance the customer experience. By knowing your audience, being informative and relevant, injecting personality, incorporating interactive elements, offering value, keeping content fresh, using music wisely, and providing clear directions, you can create on-hold messages that keep callers engaged and delighted. With thoughtful planning and creativity, on-hold time becomes an opportunity to connect with your audience and leave a positive impression of your brand.

Things I've learned from getting covid for the first time in 2023

I wear an N95 in public spaces and I've managed to dodge it for a long time, but I finally got covid for the first time (to my knowledge) in mid-late November 2023. It was a weird experience especially because I feel like it used to be something everyone was talking about and sharing info on, so getting it for the first time now (when people generally seem averse to talking about covid) I found I needed to seek out a lot of info because I wasn't sure what to do. I put so much effort into prevention, I knew less about what to do when you have it. I'm experiencing a rebound right now so I'm currently isolating. So, I'm making a post in the hopes that if you get covid (it's pretty goddamn hard to avoid right now) this info will be helpful for you. It's a couple things I already knew and several things I learned. One part of it is based on my experience in Minnesota but some other states may have similar programs.

--------

The World Health Organization states you should isolate for 10 days from first having symptoms plus 3 days after the end of symptoms.

--------

At the time of my writing this post, in Minnesota, we have a test to treat program where you can call, report the result of your rapid test (no photo necessary) and be prescribed paxlovid over the phone to pick up from your pharmacy or have delivered to you. It is free and you do not need to have insurance. I found it by googling "Minnesota Test to Treat Covid"

--------

Paxlovid decreases the risk of hospitalization and death, but it's also been shown to decrease the risk of Long Covid. Long Covid can occur even from mild or asymptomatic infections.

--------

Covid rebound commonly occurs 2-8 days after apparent recovery. While many people associate Paxlovid with covid rebound, researchers say there is no strong evidence that Paxlovid causes covid rebound, and rebounds occur in infections that were not treated with Paxlovid as well. I knew rebounds could happen but did not know it could take 8 days. I had mine on day 7 and was completely surprised by it.

--------

If you start experiencing new symptoms or test positive again, the CDC states that you should start your isolation period again at day zero. Covid rebound is still contagious. Personally I'd suggest wearing a high quality respirator around folks for an additional 8-9 days after you start to test negative in case of a rebound.

--------

Positive results on a rapid test can be very faint, but even a very faint line is positive result. Make sure to look at your rapid test result under strong lighting. Also, false negatives are not uncommon. If you have symptoms but test negative taking multiple tests and trying different brands if you have them are not bad ideas. My ihealth tests picked up my covid, my binax now tests did not.

--------

EDIT: I'd highly suggest spending time with friends online if you can, I previously had a link to the NAMI warmline directory in this post but I've since been informed that NAMI is very much funded by pharmaceutical companies and lobbies for policies that take autonomy away from disabled folks, so I've taken that off of here! Sorry, I had no idea, the People's CDC listed them as a resource so I just assumed they were legit! Feel free to reply/reblog this with other warmlines/support resources if you know of them! And please reblog this version!

--------

I know that there is so much we can't control as individuals right now, and that's frightening. All we can do is try our best to reduce harm and to care for each other. I hope this info will be able to help folks.

So a very unique purchase I made during hiatus… a pair of antique prosthetic arms I basically saved from being sold as lamps?? They were most likely made between 1900-1930, though one professor I reached out to says they might specifically be WWI era or thereabouts which is grand cos I’ve been getting very into WWI medicine, specifically prosthetics and plastic surgery, these past two years. Definitely a great addition to my collection regardless! They are two left arms produced for two different people but by the same maker in France and came with a swivel joint and hook, ring, and brush attachments.

Delivery!

Flash was currently being held captive in a black of ice. How he got like this he wasn't sure. All he remembered was that he was running across Central City keeping the peace until suddenly an ice beam shot out of nowhere and froze his feat to the ground.... and the rest of him.

"Alright you got me! Show your face!"

"Well I was going to regardless. No need to yell." Out pops Danny Phantom carrying a bag with him and holding out an envelope.

"What? Who are you?"

"My name's Phantom. Danny Phantom. I have a message for you. I couldn't get your attention earlier so I thought this was just the next best way to get you to stop." Danny said as he unfreezes the speedster.

"Uh, okay." Flash said as Danny gives him an envelope.

On the envelope there are drawing in crayon and stickers and in marker it says: to Flash.

"It's from Susie, she'd said you'd remember her."

He remembered a Susie, a little girl that he used to see in the children's hospital. She had leukemia. He spent any minute he could making sure the kid was smiling when he was there. He was heartbroken when the nurses told him that she had passed away before he could give her her birthday present. Flash examined the crayon written words, it was just like Susie's writing.

"How did you?"

"Just read it."

The letter reads:

Dear Flash,

I'm sorry, I wasn't there when you showed up for my birthday. I never got to tell you, but thank you for being at the hospital with me when I was scared of going to treatment or when I had to take my medicine. Thank you for making me smile even when I didn't feel well. Thank you for playing games with me when I couldn't go outside. Thank you for talking to my mom and dad at my funeral. That was really nice. I drew some pictures for you but I never got to finish them when I was in the hospital so I drew you some new ones. Danny says that he'll give them to you.

In the envelope was a series of different colored papers all with different crayon and marker drawings of Susie and him playing in different scenarios. One where she was a doctor and he played the injured patient. One where they were both superheroes. Another one where they were playing shadow puppets when she wasn't feeling well. Page after page were different drawings of them playing with the last one was covered in glitter with a big heart with a crayon drawing of him and Susie.

"Susie said that her biggest regret was that she couldn't say thank you to her hero before she passed. So I bumped her up on my delivery list."

"What?"

"Oh yeah, I never fully introduced myself. I'm Danny Phantom, you can call me Danny. I'm the designated delivery person for the afterlife to the living realm. Any messages or special requests from the dead are delivered by me!" Danny hands him a business card all official.

And it does say: Danny Phantom special delivery service for those of the non-living variety!

"She also said she wanted to give you one last hug before moving on."

"What do you?" Flash is halted from saying anything else as he feels a pressure against his legs. He looks down to see a translucent small figure. She was a picture of what she looked like before the chemo. Susie gives him a smile and a hug before fading before his eyes.

Before Danny officially takes up the mantle of Ghost King he's trying to do a job that would have him interact with all of his citizens first so he could get a feel of it. Hence him making connections with both the living and non-living people (he went big-brain for this idea)

Extra scene:

"Oh that reminds me, I have a card for you from someone else."

"A card?" Flash opens the card only to get sucker-punched in the face. (like one of those cartoon boxing glove punches)

"A punch card." Danny said

Flash groans as he looks at the card that has the words: STOP MESSING WITH TIME! from CW

Obligatory Gotham Scene:

Danny standing in front of a beaten up Joker that has been tied to a chair.

"Just so you know I have a back order of a lot special requests for you. And since I can't exactly kill you, that would create so much political tape. I can let them make requests for certain actions. So right now I have over 50 requests for me to break your legs and over 30 to pull out your teeth and break your jaw. Some of them contradict each other because they want to make every word you say hurt you but others want me to curse you so you can't speak again. So I'll just have to get creative." Danny says winding his arm back and form.

He is for sure being completely professional about, he gets no personal gratification from beating up a crazy clown at all. (said nobody ever)

In all these years, I've only ever fed on beasts. Drinking the blood of thinking creatures is a different thing entirely. You were delectable.

Roisia would not understand why Astarion would want to stand about theorising when she has professionally bled people for years. Granted, those people were already dead, but she's certain letting the living is easy enough.

Elocude will work our magic to create a message on hold production by fusing professional voice talent, music, and screenplay. Once the script is ready, the turnaround period is typically one business day. Since every one of our products is accelerated, we are unable to provide a choice for expediting fees.

Xavi: “You’ve been voted driver of the day. Well managed all race”

Charles: “Thank you. Fucking hell P4. Thought we could’ve done something better at one point. It’s life”

Xavi: “Yeah me too. But really good recovery”

McCoy not being able to stand without leaning / holding onto something for an entire episode

The Episode literally starts with him holding onto the captains chair, moving towards Spock- still gripping the chair - and immediatly grabbing the railing

And it just continues from there:

He only stands freely three times in the entire episode (Yes I counted) (The episode in question is S1 E9 Dagger of the Mind)
