It&#8217;s probably been a while, but I&#8217;m sure you remember exactly when the last time you received one was, and more importantly who you\u2019ve received it from. Thank you notes leave a lasting impression of you and your business, so make it a point to send them after meeting with an important client, or even use them to thank an employee for all their hard work<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Always send<\/b> <b>handwritten thank you notes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, everyone uses email and text, so mailing a handwritten thank you note is sure to set you apart and mean much more than your standard thank you text or email. It also shows that you are willing to go the extra mile because you\u2019ve taken the time to select a card, write a nice note, and bring it to the post office. A thank you email or text does not require this amount of effort and doesn&#8217;t have the same effect as a handwritten and mailed thank you note. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Personalized stationery is the most professional option<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is also a great way to market yourself and your company. Include your phone number, email and social media handle in your letterhead to make it easier for your connections to reach back out to you. If you are interested in ordering your own custom thank you notes check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vistaprint.com\/stationery\/thank-you-cards?GP=05%2f09%2f2018+13%3a09%3a50&amp;GPS=5011423682&amp;GNF=1\">Vista Print<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardsdirect.com\/business-thank-you-cards.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cards Direct\u00a0<\/a>they both have great stationary options that are customizable, professional, and affordable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep your message short and sweet and to the point, but still meaningful and genuine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A good formula when writing thank you notes is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">greeting<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Dear Mr. Smith) + <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">express your thanks<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (thank you for meeting with me) + <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">add specific details<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (I enjoyed learning about you and your company) + <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">briefly restate your thanks in a different way<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (again, thank you for being so open about your companies\u2019 wants and needs) + <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mention a way to reconnect <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(I look forward to meeting with you again, call or email me if you want to have coffee sometime soon) \u00a0+ <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ending regards<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (sincerely, John)\u201d. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Send thank you notes out as soon as possible. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For business meetings and lunches a good rule of thumb is to send out thank you notes within two weeks, but the sooner the better to reinforce your relationship and what you\u2019ve discussed. For business events and large parties a good rule of thumb is to send out thank you notes no later than a month after the event. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prioritize sending out thank you notes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Throughout your week keep an ongoing list of people you need to send thank you notes to and set aside a specific time within your week to complete them.
