Short Voicemail Greetings

Voicemail is one area in business where most of us can do a whole lot better. It’s far too easy to come across as just another also ran.

However, even Short Voicemail Greetings provide an opportunity for you to stand out as fully professional and committed to your clients, suppliers and customers.

TAKE THE HIGH ROAD

It’s too easy to take the low road and just fill in the blanks. By that I mean adapting the template on the phone system by just inserting your name. Don’t just settle for the “Hello you’ve called (insert name). Leave your number and I’ll get back to you”.

The other temptation is to just use the one Voicemail as the all-purpose panacea. That means you are really missing a chance to demonstrate to callers that you are on top of every situation.

FOR EVERY GOOD REASON

You can have Short Voicemail Greetings to suit the different situations that happen. You might be attending to another call but will be available shortly. Let the caller know what’s occurring and reassure them you will return their call ASAP.

When you are out for the day. Away on vacation. It might be holiday season so you can include a best wishes for Xmas, Easter, the Lunar New Year or whatever.

If you’re away at an important industry conference, there is always good mileage in letting people know you are keeping abreast of changes.

Aside from not taking advantage of the situation to communicate, if you persist in using the template approach you reinforce the “I don’t give a s—t” attitude that ruins business relations.

The problem is made more acute because the message abruptly changes from that of a professional announcer to the sound of your “dropped-in” recording.

Welcome to “Amateurville”!

PUT ON A GOOD SHOW

People want to do business with well organised professional people. So maximise the impact you can make by having your Voicemail Greetings written and produced by experts using professional male and female voice over artists.

How Many Words In A 30 Second Script

The number of lollies in the pack may be the same but have you noticed how the individual sweets have gone anorexic. The old wrappers are too large for the tiny new temptations. The same thing is happening on the radio.

The workhorse of radio advertising has long been the 30-second spot. But times have and are continuing to change. In particular, the time allotted for properly paced commercials is changing.

The sacred 30 seconds is under threat of erosion. As an endangered species, the radio 30 could soon turn out like the 15 and 20-second verbal blitzkrieg versions we see on free to air TV.

THE 5 SEC HIT

On a recent visit to the West Isle, there was a 5 second TV spot on Gold Coast television. Yes, a 5 second stand lone TV spot. Now here comes both the good and bad news. On the good side, I think it was for an online ad agency so it showed a certain brave new world approach.

The bad news is I can’t remember the name of the sponsor/ad agency. Oops. That’s a fairly important factor. Perhaps I need to see the 5 sec spot about 6 times? Hey, that would make 30 seconds.

So the challenge goes out to the copywriters and producers. To the engineers and voice over artists. We need a concerted effort to maintain the premier position of the thirty-second spot.

Media Buyers need to be reminded that compared to shorter ads, 30 second advertising messages are more cost efficient and effective at building brand awareness and driving sales.

A 30-second time frame gives the creative writers and producers time to develop a theme or storyline with a beginning, middle and end. Something interesting that the audience will listen to and act on.

Perhaps your advertising agency or the local radio station writers can provide some 30 Second Radio Script Examples.

HOW LONG SHOULD IT BE?

When paced at about 2 to 3 words per second the average 30 second script will have about 75 words.

As with all media, the amount of time or space needs to be as little as possible but as much as is needed.

Sometimes you need more than thirty seconds. However, to include all the information needs too many words. The listener will just shut it all out. The Sales Director will want to include every last detail. Somewhere there has to be a voice of reason.

Rather than rush to get all the extra words in or make the engineering speed everything up, why not divide the story into two and have two award-winning 30 Second Script Examples.

Nz Voiceovers

A VOICE OVER SMORGASBORD

The bearded Conchita Wurst sang about “Where have all the good men gone?”

Grammy girl Paula Cole questioned “Where have all the cowboys gone”? And as bitter as her lyrics are to listen to, she can do my laundry any day!

Then Mika hit us with the LGBTQIA lament; “Where have all the good guys gone?”

I have a question too. Where have all the voices gone, long time passing? No this is not the opening line to a Joan Baez song parody. Nor is this a dirge for deceased voice talent.

Radio Commercial Ad Script Example

 Traditionally radio has been regarded as the “theatre of the mind”. Even today in a world of computer generated imagery and 3D animation the little old radio still competes with visually based media.

The argument is swayed in favour of radio commercials because of the cost difference. Here’s a real example that illustrates how a Radio Commercial Script can become a reality regardless of the perceived production intricacy.

RADIO VS TV

This example comes from the pen of Stan Freberg an American Creative Director and legendary voice artist.

When commissioned to create a promotional campaign to highlight the advantages of radio advertising versus Television, Mr Freberg had the listener “transported” to the shores of Lake Michigan.

The sound effects throughout the commercial help to suspend disbelief and develop the imagery of an actual event of mammoth proportions.

On top of the drone of a squadron of B29 bombers the announcer orders the draining of the lake and we hear a command to refill the lake with whipped cream.

Finally the order is given to drop a giant maraschino cherry right on top of the mountain of whipped cream.

We hear the prolonged whistle of the giant cherry as it hurtles down like a bomb culminating in a loud “sploosh” as it lands in the cream.

The announcer voice, now in a very tongue in cheek delivery says the words “Try doing that on television”.

AUDIO SPECIALISTS

While not every Radio Commercial Script is going to need that high-flying Madison Avenue magic, you can be sure of getting hardworking radio advertising written and produced by Media Group NZ.

Regarded throughout the advertising industry as the business audio specialists, the advantages of working with Media Group NZ will put you in the winner’s seat.

Begin with having your scripts written by one of a team of experienced copywriters. You will also have access to the widest possible selection of voice over talent.
