Handwritten notes are far from a thing of the past. They're a powerful way to stand out from your competitors and create a memorable impact - all in less than five minutes.
When was the last time you received a handwritten note? It's probably been a while. And when people do get them they hold onto them for years. While letterhead may be on the way out, custom notecards are the perfect way to send a personal touch while branding your business.
Send a thank-you or nice to meet you
When someone sends a referral your way or you meet someone who could be a potential client send them a note.
People do business with other people they know, like and trust. A handwritten note can go a long way in all three of those categories and can be what gets you an opportunity or sale.
Include them with an order
Include a quick note on a custom notecard thanking the customer for their order. It goes above and beyond, shows appreciation and makes them feel special.
You can even include a little line in there if you know something about them. For example, if you're selling dog treats online and the order form includes a space for the dog's name, you can include "Hope Roxy enjoys the treats!".
Not just for customers
GE Chairman Jack Welch and former Campbell Soup CEO Doug Conant are well remembered for writing personal notes to their employees, just to say thank you or congratulations on life events like marriage or a new child.
Take a cue from Jack and Doug and send your employees their own personalized notes to help boost morale.
Build relationships and sales with custom notecards. They only take a few minutes to write and the return makes it one of the best and most under-used marketing and sales tools.
