Knowing that most offices are closed after 5:00 PM and on weekends, customers&nbsp;often seek alternative ways to reach out during these times. As an entrepreneur whose business is centred on customer satisfaction, here are some options to keep your business running after working hours: 1. Social media pages To effectively keep your business running after working hours, it&#8217;s important to be active on social media. Creating pages on platforms like Facebook is crucial. These pages can be set up to automatically respond to messages with customized replies. The platform also lets the customer know when they can expect a response, based on the average reply time.
