Even in today's fast-paced world, customers don't like being greeted with an automated message. According to the New York Times, callers of a certain age are put off entirely if they are answered by a voicemail instead of a real person.
During the holiday season, make your customers feel more welcome and give them the customer experience they hope through your voicemail by informing them that you will contact them after the holiday season.

While email and text support saw an increase in recent years, many customers, partners, and potential hires still prefer to call your company directly. When writing your voicemail script, include basic information such as a short greeting, your company name, an invitation to leave a short message, and the time frame in which the caller can expect a return call. If relevant, you may want to include your office hours, extensions for company departments, and the contact information for your office manager or HR department.
Customers do not possess the expertise and knowledge you do. When creating your business voicemail greetings, make sure you don’t use such technical terms that the customer may not be able to understand.
We’re all busy and have short attention spans, especially when it comes to listening to a pitch. Your prospects are no different — and you can use this knowledge as a tool to cut through the noise in their inbox.
