how to put a customer on hold in d365
Why a "Holiday Message On-Hold?" For starters it's always a good business practice to wish your customers a happy holiday, no matter which one. Don't you wish your customers a happy holiday in person? With you as the customer, don't your Vendors wish you a happy holiday? WELL, don't overlook the time your clients are on hold. Let them know you care enough to say "Happy Holidays, Happy Halloween, Happy Mother's Day," and on and on. Next, it makes good business sense to let your customers know about upcoming holiday specials and special services you offer. Everyone takes part in October - January marketing. Flower Shops and Jewelry outlets excel on Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. Perhaps your business observes special store hours for the days surrounding Passover, Memorial Day, and the rest of the holidays.
