Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov 26, and Christmas and New Year's are right behind it. Now is the time to set your holiday hours on your phone system, not the night before.
A quick checklist:
- Schedule your holiday hours ahead of time so calls switch over automatically on the days you're closed.
- Record a short holiday greeting with your hours and when you'll be back.
- Point after-hours calls to voicemail, an on-call cell, or your answering service.
- Make sure voicemail-to-email goes to someone who will actually check it.
- Update your hours on Google, your website, and your social pages so they match.
- Put a reminder on the calendar to switch back to normal hours.
Most cloud phone systems can do all of this in a few minutes, and once it's set up you can reuse it every year. If you're not sure how yours works, or you're ready for a system that makes this easy, I can help.
