As author of the "Blatant Ad" I must apologize as it appears that this is improper etiquette. Perhaps I should have softened the approach so to speak but again my apologies.
Concerning the response regarding on-hold commercials, high end commercial audio production is our principle business...radio commercials that is. The on-hold message announcement is a commercial in a sense. Though "soft sell" to the core. At a price point of $249.00, the average small business can easily afford a professional radio like production versus a larger fortune 500 firm with million dollar advertising budgets for full blown productions.
Just a note...how was it that the $249.00 price was discovered?...just curious.

Perhaps . . .
 

you should have PARTICIPATED in the forum instead of just HAWKING your wares.

Two problems would have been solved:

1.) the accusation of blatant advertising
2.) you'd have been here long enough to surmise how the $249 was arrived at, and by whom.

Again...new user, now aware of the rules and regarding the 2....never mind

It's like you're invited to a party...
 

Hi,

You probably wouldn't immediately jump onto a table and proclaim:

"Hey, everybody, listen up for a minute:

"We have recently expanded our industry referral program directly to the end user market. Our firm has experienced great success by offering $50 dollar compensations to telecom sales and installation companies whom direct their clients to our On-Hold message systems.

"Note: WE do all the selling!

"(Etc.)"

Or, would you?

Best,

- Boyd
