Why You Need an Out-of-Office Email (And How to Write One)

Worried clients will think you’ve disappeared if you take time off? You’re not alone. Many interior designers avoid setting an out-of-office message because they fear it sends the wrong signal. But here’s the truth: OOO replies can actually strengthen your client relationships and position you as a pro.

In this episode, Rebecca shares:

  • Why we feel guilty for stepping away (and how to change that)
  • When and how to use out-of-office replies—even for reveal or install days
  • What to say in your OOO message to keep things professional and personal
  • Why clear communication = better boundaries (and better business)
