Has anyone created a February OOF yet? Some of you guys are famous for them and I know when to bow to the masters. I'd love it if you'd share.

This is VERY nice but why are you going through all this work every month (yes, I used to do the same thing).

I now use what HO provides for us - the OOF that is on CC. It has a picture of the monthly guest special on it and all the information that yours does and more (like warranty info). Yours takes just as much ink to print as the CC form and so much more of your time and it's easy to miss vital info when we do our own.

Honestly, it has been so long since I looked at the OOF on consultants corner that I didn't realize they were putting the specials info on there. It used to not be like that ...... there was just a generic order form. I don't really care about the warranty info because I will be giving them an actual printed receipt from PP when they order but again......it's been a year or more since I checked the OOF because I didn't like it before. Thanks for the heads up.

I do like the homemade one's though because my contact info is already printed on them when I send them through the printer.
 
Re: Oof?Here is one I tweak a little - to print up My Personal Info on the company OOF. I think I used this one in November...

You print up the company's OOF first, then put it back in your printer to print the following on the same side:
