Ah, Why Not Say Thank You!

Thank You! It would appear as though the custom of giving thanks has disappeared over time. Sending a personalized thank you note was once habitual for both personal and business circumstances, but now the majority of people presume it's enough to offhandedly whip up an email with a quick "thanks" before getting back to their active day to day lives. Now don't take this the wrong way. I realize that the world is more fast paced than it was at one time and many people barely have time to sit and catch their breath, but if you think about it, that only gives you that much more reason to send a sincere thanks. Seeing as how we've become less accustomed to getting a formal thank you, it makes a much greater impact when we do receive one. It certainly is a lovely surprise to see that someone took the effort to say "thanks." I haven’t even mentioned the effect it can make on your business. In taking a second to give a personalized thank you, you can express to your customer how valuable their business is to you. By developing personal friendships with your customers, you are guaranteeing their confidence and giving them a reason to do business with you as opposed to your competition. If I still haven’t convinced you that sending a thank you gift or note is worth the effort, why not think about sending something that takes little to no time at all? Sending flowers or a gift basket from an online source takes about as long as sending an email, yet gives a much better impression. Gift like Godiva Treats Basket Do you want to say thank you?
