The Christmas holidays are just around the corner, so it’s wise to have your office email planned and ready to go for when you’re away. That’s why today we are going to show you how to set up your Christmas out of office email reply in Outlook or Gmail.
Having automatic email replies whilst you are out of the office is a must have for any business owner.
It not only reminds your clients that you are away for Christmas, but you can also include the other days your business might be closed for as well. A nice touch is to include when you’re going to be back at work too.
