Don’t Let Missed Calls Ruin Your Christmas (Or Your January)
Christmas is nearly here. The out-of-office is ready to go, the diary’s slowing down, and you’re already thinking about switching off for a few days. And honestly? You’ve earned it.
But while you’re wrapping presents, watching Christmas telly, or sneaking another mince pie, your phone doesn’t know it’s the festive season. It’ll still ring. And if no one answers, those callers won’t hang around waiting.
That’s where a lot of businesses quietly lose money over Christmas – without even realising it.
Missed Calls = Missed Money
Let’s be honest: most people won’t leave a voicemail. They won’t email. They won’t try again tomorrow. They’ll just call the next business they find online.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a sole trader, a small business, or running a growing team – a missed call is often a missed job. Over the festive period, this happens more than usual because businesses are short-staffed, closed completely, or simply too busy to answer everything.
And customers? They still expect to speak to a real person. Especially when they’ve got questions, need reassurance, or want to book something in for January.
Closed Doors Don’t Have to Mean Closed Phones
This is exactly why Take My Calls exists. Even when your business is shut for the holidays, we make sure your calls are answered by a real, friendly human being.
No robots. No awkward voicemails. No “press 1 for this, press 2 for that”.
We answer your calls properly, in your business name, and make sure callers feel looked after. We’ll take messages, capture details, and make sure you don’t miss out on genuine enquiries while you’re away.
So instead of coming back after Christmas wondering who tried to call, you’ll have clear messages and warm leads ready to follow up.
Built for Small Businesses (Like Yours)
If you run a small business, you don’t need a full-time receptionist – especially not over Christmas. You just need someone reliable to have your back when you can’t answer the phone.
That’s why our pay monthly plans work so well. No long contracts. No complicated setups. Just straightforward call answering that fits around your business.
They’re ideal if you’re:
- A sole trader juggling everything yourself
- A small team rotating time off
- Flat-out busy before the holidays
- Or simply sick of seeing missed calls
You stay in control, your customers feel heard, and your business keeps ticking over.
First Impressions Still Matter at Christmas
Your phone is often the first impression someone gets of your business. And if it rings out or goes to voicemail, it doesn’t exactly scream “professional”, does it?
When someone answers the phone politely and confidently, it instantly builds trust. Even if you’re closed, customers appreciate knowing they’ve reached a real person who cares.
With Take My Calls, your business sounds switched on, reliable, and friendly — even when you’re not at your desk.
So go on. Enjoy the festive break. Switch off properly. Have another drink and relax.
We’ll keep your phone answered.
Keep your business open this Christmas. Let Take My Calls do the legwork and capture leads while you enjoy time off
