Message On Hold
The Inventors Of The On-Hold Industry
The Please Hold Group offers you the expertise and capabilities of 3 of the largest Message On Hold providers in world……Please Hold Canada, Telephonetics and Audiocom who collectively broadcast to over 40,000 customers.
A little history…….The Message On Hold industry started several decades ago when a entity known as Audio Images was formed. During the 1980’s the founding partners of Audio Images parted company and individually they created their own organizations being Telephonetics and Audiocom. At that same time, Canada’s first Message On Hold provider was also born, that being Please Hold Canada.
Now over a quarter of a century later and for the first time in the history of the On Hold industry, the 3 organizations have come together to offer the largest single footprint message on hold supplier to be found anywhere in the world.
