Royalty free on-hold music

In the musical landscape, three main categories coexist: commercial music, royalty-free music and compositions specially designed for professional use.

Royalty-free music is the opposite of commercial music. It is therefore music whose use does not involve the payment of royalties for each broadcast.

However, this does not mean that it is free or without any restrictions. The work remains protected and its use is managed by a contract specifying the conditions of exploitation. A company can broadcast it as much as it wants, without paying royalties, but also without owning it.

As a specialist in sound and telephone reception, Phone Design provides a library of royalty-free music specially designed for telephony. Hundreds of tracks are available, to offer a wide range of styles adapted to the expectations of companies and different sectors of activity.

To avoid monotony and offer sounds that are ever more adapted to the needs of companies, Phone Design extends its library every month with new original creations.

Our passionate sound engineer and composer imagines and produces tracks designed for telephony. His goal: to offer new, modern music that is perfectly adapted to telephone reception. Thanks to this regular update, each company can adjust its sound identity and bring a touch of freshness to its communications.

Without hidden costs or complex administrative procedures, this music offers many advantages:

• A controlled cost: no recurring payments. Once the license is acquired, the music can be distributed freely.
• Unlimited use: regardless of the operating period, no additional costs are incurred. The company keeps control over its sound design.
• Great flexibility: need a different atmosphere for the end-of-year celebrations, a promotional offer or a special event? The library allows you to vary the music according to the news.
• Simplified access: no declaration, no long and tedious procedures. Everything is designed for rapid implementation.
• A wide choice of styles: jazz, pop, rock, classical, folk, world music... Each company finds a sound that matches its image and its sector of activity.

While royalty-free music offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative, there are a few things to consider before making a choice:

• A less distinctive sound identity: available to all, this music can be used by many companies, which limits the originality of the telephone ambiance.
• No ownership of the work: purchasing a license allows free use, but the company does not become the owner of the piece. Its use remains managed by the conditions defined in the contract.

A call on hold is a suspended moment. A few notes are enough to soothe, energize or annoy. The success of your on hold message therefore also depends on choosing the right music. It must match your brand image and immerse the caller in your world from the first seconds.

The important thing is to avoid melodies that are too repetitive or aggressive, which could irritate and cause callers to hang up. Harmonious and fluid music maintains attention without disturbing listening. Adapted to the target audience, it positively influences the perception of your company and offers a more pleasant telephone experience.

And if you hesitate or do not know which royalty-free music to choose for your business, we will help you select the right one!
