Below is a
collection of the "Frequently Asked
Questions" about our Website(s) and
services to help make your experience
with us as easy as possible. However, if
you need specialized assistance or
further information, please E-mail us for
professional, courteous customer service.
Q: How long does
it usually take from order till I get my
finished system?
A: That depends on how fast you decide
what you want to tell your callers, how
quickly you communicate that information
to us, and how speedily you make copy
corrections and/or approve the final copy
draft. After that it takes only a couple
of days to get your final program
produced.
Q: Do you have a
"stand-by" program I can use
while my program is being created?
A: Certainly. If you order a complete
system (player and program) you will
receive a "custom generic"
program (generic messages with your
company's named added) to play while your
custom program is being created.
Q: How many
things can I talk about in my program?
A: Please visit our "Programs"
page for a "program length vs number
of messages" matrix that will tell
you exactly how many messages to plan for
various length programs. Obviously, the
longer the program the greater the number
of messages.
Q: What type of
music do you use?
A: We'll use what you want, BUT... we
STRONGLY recommend using thirty-second
long music cuts. Our library contains
thousands of such cuts in all music
categories; contemporary, jazz, light
jazz, business image, motivational,
country, classical, etc., and you can
feel free to pick the two categories you
believe the majority of your customers
like, or that most closely parallels your
corporate image. With Hold
On AMERICA,
you ALWAYS get two versions of your
custom program with different music for
variety. With almost all of our music
libraries, we change music every thirty
seconds to regain the caller's attention.
The music acts like exclamation points to
specific copy points so that the whole
production becomes a coherent
presentation instead of just a few
disconnected messages read over some long
boring piece of background music. As far
as we know, we are the only producer
offering such complicated production at
regular prices.
Q: How
complicated is installing the player?
A: As long as your telephone equipment
(1) has "music-on-hold"
capability and (2) has a readily
accessible music input jack (usually just
like you have on your stereo at home),
it's a snap. If you currently have a
radio on hold, simply use that audio
wire. You may need a $2 Radio Shack plug
adapter when going from an
"earphone" output jack to an
"RCA Phono" jack (with a lip
around it). Once in a while, a telephone
person must be called in to
"punch" some wires down or find
the input, but usually you can do it. If
you don't have a "system," you
can still have Hold
On AMERICA
programs by utilizing a special adapter
to give your phones "MOH capability.
We also supply the adapters.
Q: Do I have to
set up a complicated account to buy on
line?
A: Actualy, we're currently not selling
on line. We do take payment by PayPal,
but we discovered after setting up an
on-line store, that this product really
does require human to human contact.
There are so many important variables in
the buying process that only by spending
time discussing a client's unique needs
can we provide a system to fill those
needs.
Q. Can I make
changes or additions to my order after I
complete it?
A. Certainly. Please contact one of our
Customer Service Representatives at
813-643-9100 if you need to make any
changes to your order. We will handle it

Q. How can I
cancel my order?
A. Please contact one of our Customer
Service Representatives at 813-643-9100
if you need to cancel your order.
Q. Who do I
contact if there is a problem with my
order?
A. Please contact one of our Customer
Service Representatives at 813-643-9100
for assistance.

Q. How will I
know that my order is being processed
successfully?

of your order's progress by phone, e-mail
or fax as you direct.
