Open the generatorFrequently asked questions
When should I switch to a holiday voicemail greeting?
Two business days before the closure starts. That way callers planning ahead get the right info instead of being surprised by an outdated greeting.
Should I always wish callers a happy holiday?
Match it to your usual brand tone. Friendly companies should — formal B2B firms can simply state the closure dates and reopen time without the warm wish.
