The holidays are almost over, but many of us still have lingering relatives and friends in town. The current weather conditions across much of the country have prevented travelers from returning home and many of us are seeking some post-Christmas entertainment. What is open? Are there special events occurring? What about sales? The post-Christmas haze is in full swing, and many of us are feeling a bit scattered. What could be the solution for this? An interactive voice response system of course! An IVR could be set up to work as a “city search” of sorts, gathering and storing data from all sorts of venues including restaurants, shopping centers, performing arts complexes, and movie theaters. Users could call in, specify the type of information they were seeking, enter the location they were interested in hearing about, and receive all pertinent information in a quick and painless manner. Instead of sitting around the house staring at Uncle Edward, “bouncing ideas off each other”, you could be at a fantastic sale getting those work pants you so desperately have need, at the movies seeing the next great flick, or even at a skating rink enjoying the winter weather. An IVR would go far to provide entertainment for all and relieve some of the hosting stress many of us are inevitably feeling at the moment!
