Business Tip:
Writing a thank you letter
or mailing a note of appreciation seems to be about as common as a VHS
tape. The only thing is, when you are on
the receiving end of a letter you tend to value the act more than the actual
words jotted down on the card or paper.
The reasons for this are plentiful, by writing and mailing a handwritten
letter you are displaying your investment in time, cost, and personal
attention. In our world of electronic
communication, a letter is one of the few ways you can break through the
clutter of being remembered or better yet, valued. It’s important that you do
your best to keep the letter to one page and if possible, invest in stationary (personalized
with your name). One added bonus of
sending a letter via snail mail, you get to choose between a huge selection of
stamps to use, which is just another way for you to show a bit more self
expression to the person on the receiving end. Lastly, although emails and
texts can be printed, a handwritten letter is a nice keepsake, making it hard
to easily drop in the wastebasket. Letter writing isn’t gone yet, let’s keep it
alive!
