The thing is, it doesn't take long to set up an away message.
You can electronically record incoming messages, and have them sent to your email so that you never miss a customer.
Then you have voip services, or skype or similar, so you can now make a local call, from anywhere in the world.
I know that sometimes you need downtime, or there is a rare solunar event that really needs to be seen, but like you are saying Alex, a simple message helps those who will have called in, and didn't go to their website.
Our little business has pre-recorded messages for every occasion, even illness. With the click of a button on a website, our customers know where we are today, and that if they leave a message, we will respond to them as soon as we are able. Simple.
