Audio Messaging FAQs
New to audio messaging for Retail? Here are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand this powerful tool.
What is the difference between on-hold music and on-hold messaging?
On-hold music minimizes perceived wait time and keeps customers engaged with licensed background sound while on-hold messaging uses professionally recorded voice content to inform the caller. Combining both serves to enhance the entire customer experience.
How often should I update my on-hold messages or in-store promotions?
We typically recommend updating your content at least quarterly to align with seasonal campaigns and business goals. For high-volume promotions or fast-changing product lines, updates could be weekly or monthly to maintain relevance.
Do I need a license to play music on my phone system or in my store?
Yes, to legally play music in a commercial setting, you will need performance rights licenses from PROs (Performing Rights Organizations). Mood Media can handle all necessary licensing for your global locations, ensuring your stores are fully compliant and protected.
Can I use professional voice actors for my messaging?
Absolutely. We have an extensive network of professional voice talent to ensure broadcast-quality production. Choosing the right voice is critical as it needs to reflect your brand’s unique tone and inspire trust.
Can I use AI for my audio messaging?
Yes! Mood Media’s AI Messaging Copilot is an innovative tool for creating high-quality audio messages for retail businesses. It integrates leading AI technology with a rich library of professional voices, making the process quick, accessible, and affordable.
How does in-store audio messaging influence customer purchasing decisions?
In-store audio targets customers as they’re about to purchase, the moment when 80% of purchase decisions are made. It encourages action, highlights promos, and introduces new products/collections to deliver measurable sales lift.
Can I integrate my messaging with my company’s specific promotions or inventory?
Yes, through the Mood Harmony platform, we can link audio messaging to your promotional calendar or inventory data. This ensures messages played are always timely and reflect the items available to buy.
