Hey geeks,
I read a post on here recently that got me thinking about an issue I have.
Being an independent therapist I don't have a receptionist so an issue arises when I go on holiday. I contact all my exisitng clients before I go away so they know when I am not around but any new clients calling the salon would not be aware. I just don't feel that it gives a good impression if a potentially new client leaves a message and I don't reply for 2 weeks because I've been off sunning myself and obviously I am not going to put a message on my answerphone stating that I am on holiday (errr, yeah come & rob me!).
Does anyone have an idea of a message that could be left on the answerphone that would let clients know that treatments are not available while giving the impression that there were people in the salon. I have kind of thought of 'we are temporarily closed for staff training' or 'we are temporarily closed for a refurb, please call back in 2 weeks'??
Any ideas?
