9 Beautiful Thank You Cards for Networking With a Personal Touch

October 26, 2021

With in-person events making a comeback and work-from-home culture thriving, there’s no better time than now to master the art of snail mail. That means communication via the postal system instead of email if you have no idea what I’m talking about. The benefits of handwritten messages are plentiful. One, they provide an opportunity for the community you serve to hear directly from you in a more intimate way. I’ve received a lot of snail mail in my editorial career and the best thank you cards I received (and remembered) were personalized with handwritten messages.

Thank you notes can also be a conduit for expressing your personal or brand style, depending on the type of card design you go with. And if you’re a small business owner, adding a thank you card or sticker to your product is a smart way to connect with customers and show your appreciation for their support. If you’ve never invested in thank you cards before, keep three things in mind:

-Choose a style that aligns with your brand or personality.

-Invest in a signature stamp if you’re planning to mail out large batches (and want to avoid a carpal tunnel flare-up).

-Be specific and brief in your messaging.
