A Better Caller Experience

Make Every Call Feel Connected to Your Campus

Prospective students, parents, current students, families and community members call with questions about admissions, enrollment, programs, schedules, events and what to do next. While they're waiting on hold, let's give them useful information with music mixed with the sound of a helpful human voice.

Easy On Hold® creates professional music and messages for colleges, universities, public schools, private schools and career programs. Topics might include application dates, degree programs, registration reminders, student services, campus events and the values that make your institution distinctive. All while making good use of those few moments callers are willing to wait.

You'll be assigned a Music On Hold Expert® to help keep scripts fresh throughout the academic year. Ask about streaming-compatible audio systems that can centrally manage multiple campuses and schedule individual topics to start and stop automatically.
