The SALON TODAY editorial team has been gathering what we felt were some inspired salon greetings and salutations and thought we’d share:
With the Holiday season right around the corner, your office’s voicemail greeting should quickly inform callers of any potential changes in hours, days or availability. Oh, and what better way to spread holiday wishes than with a personalized, updated greeting – of course, while at the same time, keeping your clients and prospects in the loop of where you’ll be and when.

"Business owners may not always be available to answer live calls, which makes voicemail still a necessary function," says Hinze. However, Hinze says that the way businesses use voicemail has changed radically. How to Create or Change Outgoing Voicemail Messages Last updated Save as PDF
Currently, Cox Business does not offer fax features in voice mailboxes; however, our development roadmap includes creation of special services that support faxing. Cox Business is launching a new platform for voice mail in 2014 and existing customers must set up their voice mailboxes during migration. How will I know when Cox Business is moving my voice mailboxes to the new platform?

Text messaging has been around since 1992. Consumers expect you to have it. If you don’t have text messaging enabled on your landline, your customers won’t know that. Even after they text you, they may not know you didn’t get their message—they’ll simply assume you’re ignoring them.
Doing this gives your prospects the assurity that you will follow up with them which makes them drop in their contact details for you to reach out to them.
To set up your voicemail, press *98 from your home phone or call the retrieval number you received with your welcome letter. Voice prompts will guide you through the rest of the steps.

As I was about to get into advising you on the best practices of voicemail recordings and greetings, here’s what was blasting in my ears: “I can’t keep on losing you / Over complications / Gone too soon / Wait, we was just hangin’”… I’ll let you make the parallel.
Your message is a period of time that they are forced to wait through in order to do what they called to do in the first place — relay information to you.
People don’t have to wait on hold to send a text. They don’t have to explain their situation multiple times to four different representatives. They just send the text, then go do something else while waiting for a reply. Interacting with your business doesn’t require someone to take a break from work or try to talk over screaming kids. It takes seconds to send, and it’s easy to follow up asynchronously.
