In the case that your business is closed due to an emergency, it's only worth it to go into detail if the problem is affecting everyone in the area.

Your alternate greeting lets callers know that they have reached the correct mailbox and hear a brief message from you. Often, this message specifies when you will return and provides contact information for the person or people who can help callers during your absence.

A voicemail greeting can be pivotal in attracting a potential customer to your company or repelling him! So, it may be worthwhile to utilize some tried and tested tips to frame voicemail greetings for your company. The first line must include a brief description of your company and the services it offers clearly. Tell the callers the time frame within which they will get a call from your end. Ensure the voice used in recording the greeting is cheerful and not drab one. Ensure the greeting is recorded not in a hurried manner so that the callers can understand each word without issues. Try keeping the voicemail message length to 20 seconds or so.
The phone you use to record your greeting – and your surrounding – can turn your carefully scripted greeting into an unprofessional mess. Background noise is terribly distracting, so choose a quiet room or parked car to make your call. Landlines, or a “wi-fi enabled” cellphone call, can provide much better connection quality than a standard cellphone. If you must use a cell phone, be sure to use a high-quality headset for the best clarity.
