Sending recorded phone messages to a list of contacts is fast and easy, and doesn't require any special equipment or software. Our services here at Monarch Broadcast, enable you to log online, upload your phone list, and record your message over the phone. When you launch your job (or we do it for you) your recorded message will be delivered to your list of phone numbers immediately.
Your recorded phone message will be played when your recipient picks up the phone live, or the system can sense if it's voicemail or answering machine and will leave the entire message to be heard later at your contact's convenience. Either way you message gets through and is disseminated quickly, usually within minutes. Better yet, there is no charge if our phone blast system detects a busy, no answer, or a line that is out of order. In general, if you have a good list of current numbers, about 80-85% of the calls get through.
Here are few helpful hints to insure the success of your phone blast:
1) You can use an Excel spreadsheet for your phone numbers. Just make sure that the area codes are in the same column as the phone numbers. So, you should have 10 digits in ONE column.
2) Prepare your script and practice and read it out loud several times. Most scripts are rewritten a few times to insure a smooth and understandable delivery. You can record your own message on our system, or we can call you and have you just read your script over the phone. Using a regular landline phone to record your message is recommended because it is usually more clear than a cell phone that may have a bad connection.
3) Informational messages are completely legal. It's when you start selling something or telemarketing where you could cross the line. We require our clients to comply with strict regulations. Don't get yourself in trouble.
Overall, sending recorded messages is probably the most effective, fastest and least expensive way to get important information out to your contacts. Email is less expensive, but not everyone checks their email. However, everyone gets their voicemail -- phones are everywhere and people are well connected.
