Recording an Information mailbox greeting
Before you record an Information mailbox greeting, you must determine what the greeting includes. Be sure to include important times and dates.
For example: “Paddy’s Dance Studio proudly presents an extravaganza of dance. The entertainment begins at 8:00 pm on the fourth of July. Toddlers tap is in the White Room. Folk dance is in the Green Room. Classical ballet is in the Pink Room. Contemporary jazz is in the Blue Room. The studio and recital rooms are located at 222 Main Street.”
Write the greeting down and practice reading it aloud. When you are confident the greeting includes everything you want it to, record the greeting. If you are using a phone system with bilingual capability, you must record the Information mailbox greeting in both languages.
An Information mailbox greeting can be either a Primary or an Alternate mailbox greeting.
