The Croatian National Tourist Board is Encouraging People to Get Creative When it Comes to Out-Of-Office Messages This Summer

LONDON, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

With summer just around the corner, now is the time to perfect the out-of-office (OOO). Luckily help is at hand as the Croatian National Tourist Board has prepared some top tips for logging-off in style.

1. A little gratitude never hurt anybody -  Thank the sender for their email.
2. Keep replies concise but don't be afraid to be creative .
3. Stay with the facts - State the exact dates and times of absence.
4. Make sure back-up is available - When forwarding emails to a colleague, make sure they are informed! Some nice words and a box of Croatian cookies could help.
5. Grammar IS important even on holiday. Do check for typos - watch out for any spelling mistakes and glaring grammatical errors.
