In a world where we are always on our phones, has the OOO message become redundant?, Because knowing, unknowingly we are always checking our emails which means setting OOO is no more of any use or, are we hopelessly addicted to our devices and have forgotten how to separate work and life. According to one survey, 64% of British workers read and send emails during their vacations, and it will be worse for China or India, because they are always on phone.
So, what will be your perfect OOO pitch, let's explore?

Clearly state the dates that you are out of the office and not reading email, if you are reading it sporadically, there is not really a reason for an out of office email. Our emails are overflowing with information and if you are going to respond, there is no reason to say that it may be in a day as that can be a reasonable amount of time for a response.
When you do use this, include a valuable tip in your out of office email, not a selling point though. Something that will help the reader without a catch.

Patty correct one should clearly mention OOO which will help reader not to respond back, plus it will be good to have backup contact. - Masarrat A 58 months ago

I always give specific dates and then note when I am set to return. If it's pertinent, I will also include a download or clickthrough so I can still be effective, even if I am out of the office.
