An out-of-office (OOO) holiday message, also known as a vacation response or autoresponder, is an automated email that informs senders when you're unavailable due to holidays or time off. Here are some tips and examples to help you craft a great OOO holiday message:
**When to use it:**
* When you'll be away from work for an extended period (e.g., weeks-long vacation)
* During peak holiday seasons like Christmas, Thanksgiving, or summer breaks
* If you're working remotely and want to set expectations with colleagues and clients
**What to include:**
1. **Return date**: Specify the date you'll return to work.
2. **Contact information**: Provide an alternative contact person's email address or phone number (if applicable).
3. **Basic information**: Include your name, company, and any relevant details about your absence.
4. **Apology**: A polite apology for any inconvenience caused by your unavailability.
**Examples:**
* Simple and straightforward:
"Dear [Name],
I'll be out of the office from December 24th to January 1st. I'll respond to your email upon my return. Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
[Your Name]"
* With alternative contact information:
"Hello,
I'll be taking a break from December 22nd to January 5th. If you need urgent assistance, please reach out to [Alternative Contact Person's Email]. I'll respond to non-urgent emails upon my return.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
[Your Name]"
**Additional tips:**
1. **Set up your autoresponder**: Most email providers (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) offer an autoresponder feature that allows you to schedule and customize your out-of-office messages.
2. **Be consistent**: Use the same format for all your OOO messages to maintain a professional image.
3. **Consider exceptions**: If you need to be available for specific situations or emergencies during your time off, mention this in your message.
By using an OOO holiday message, you'll ensure that senders are informed and prepared for your absence, allowing you to enjoy your well-deserved break while maintaining a positive work reputation.
