I think we forget that there are people on the other end of the computer, and that occasionally letting them know they are appreciated would probably go a long way. Thanks for the reminder, I think Im gonna give it a shot. <abbr><em>Barry's last blog post..<a href="http://barrychristian.com/?p=34" rel="nofollow">Tips on Buying Pre-owned Sports Cars</a></em></abbr> I agree with James.

Saying thanks lets them know they they are just not a number to them.

Love the idea.

It blows me away on how a basic human courtesy of saying thank you can be overlooked. For example, one of my clients is a pension design and consulting firm. 95% of their new clients come from a referral from a CPA or financial advisor. I recommended we send a thank you note within 24 hours of each referral, and if we land the account a dimensional mailer like brownies or something. We kicked this off 6 months ago, and today I am helping them hire more people as their new business is exceeding plan. Checking in with the advisors in this sale’s influencer network, they said we are the only firm like ours that said “thank you,” and that is why then send us more business. The sooner you start to authentically thank others, the quicker the returns. Mark Allen Roberts Thank you notes are amazing!

If you're raised in the South - "thank you" is the second phrase you learn right after "Yes Mam." I don't though look at it as a way of marketing myself, rather it's just simply a good thing to do. And I don't include business cards with thank you notes. Thank you Mike for bringing this topic up.

I had note cards printed on high quality stock with our company logo on the cover. Thank you cards allow me to express my gratitude and affirmation through a medium more personal than e-mail or letterhead. The informality provides poetic license so I can be more conversational in writing style if desired. Often I have it type-written and laser-printed in itallic font to dress it up. The logo on the cover leverages the brand. Plus I think the client's attention can be drawn to a card v. 8.5 x 11'' letter. Feedback is always positive because the text is timely, substantive and personal. I never start with, "Thank you . . ." Everybody does that. I start with a statement affirming the client, like a relevant quality I admire and appreciate in them or their company, or something they said in the recent interaction. Hope this is helpful for others. God bless. Mike Mike,

Because people so rarely write them, handwritten thank-you notes stand out; people remember you, which is what effective marketing and relationship-building is all about. Michaela Hi Mike,
