20. “Hey there! Thanks for calling [company]. We are unable to answer the phone right now but will get back to you right after the holidays.

Let your callers know via your voicemail greeting.
Much better & simpler method: simply phone your own voicemail service. Then one of the options will be to ‘record a voicemail’; after which you can enter the phone number, record & send voicemail.

On your Android device, open the Google Voice app .At the top left, tap Menu Settings.In the Voicemail section, tap Voicemail greeting.Next to the greeting that you would like to use, tap more Set as active. To change your voicemail greeting: Go to Phone > Voicemail and tap Greeting. Then follow the prompts to change the greeting. To change your voicemail password: Go to Settings > Phone > Change Voicemail Password and then enter the new password you want to use.
The bottom line is that a business’s situation is likely to change often and rapidly, each of which need a unique and applicable voicemail greeting to cover the circumstances and timeline. For example, callers shouldn’t reach a business-as-usual voicemail, and therefore expect a return call within the business day, if the subject they’re calling is out on vacation for two weeks. Such a lack of communication is a recipe to lose that caller’s trust and tarnish the brand’s reputation.
