Holiday Season Reminder

Edwin Frondozo

The winter holidays are upon us. Whether you celebrate it or not, the business world has certainly slowed down. 

Many executives, managers, and employees take a slow period as an opportunity to take time off work to spend time with family.  It is a wonderful time of the year.

With that, have you prepared your work communications to ensure that all customers and stakeholders are aware of your schedule over the next couple of weeks?  Information that should be included are:

Email Auto-Reply

Email Signature

Updating your email signature to provide information on your working schedule is a creative way to inform your whereabouts’ stakeholders, and customers.

Company Phone Greetings

For small business owners or stakeholders, ensuring the company phone greeting is updated to reflect the season and when the office will be opened or closed.

All pretty simple and obvious tasks!  But I would be lying as I am guilt for forgetting to do many of them and leaving my customers waiting for a reply back.

Have a happy holiday, everyone.  Wishing you the best.
