The holiday season brings well-earned time off, but for service-based small businesses—like property managers, plumbers, HVAC technicians, towing companies, and 24-hour emergency services—the work doesn’t actually stop.
Customers still deal with urgent issues, and when your business doesn’t answer the phone, they quickly call someone else.
That’s why so many service businesses use Answer United’s live and automated phone answering services during holiday closures. You stay available, professional, and responsive—even with the office closed.
