It’s that time of the year when we start preparing for our well-deserved holiday break over Christmas and New Year. More often than not, updating the after hours message is left to the last minute. We thought we’d get in early to remind you that we are starting to work on festive messaging for our clients and you can start to organise your messages too!
Your Christmas prouction(s) will have a caring, warm and friendly brand voice(s), mixed with one of our exclusive Christmas tunes; A bit of Christmas cheer is sure to put your callers in a merry mood. You might want to inform clients about operating hours over the break. OR you may be staying open for their convenience.
Below are a few script content tips. Remember we can write your entire script for you and send back the first draft for your approval.
