The Value Of A Hand Written Letter
There are many things that I am thankful for in the age of technology in which we live. However, we are all remiss if we do not acknowledge that we do in fact appreciate a heart felt hand written letter or note.
In the age of emails, IM’s, Facebook and Twitter hand written letters are considered “old school” but, I find they still have a great deal of value. This year in particular I had a lot of positive feedback from the notes I wrote in all my Christmas cards to clients. I started working on them in October and wrote a personal note in every single one. My most recent call was from a client I sold a house to 3 years ago. She called to tell me how important my note made her feel and that it really meant a lot for me to send it.
Email is great and I couldn’t run my business without it but, there are certain times that a hand written letter means so much more. It’s the thought that goes into it that leaves a lasting impact. I still hand write all my thank you notes after Christmas, write notes in birthday cards and occasionally I send a card just to let someone know I’m thinking of them (my Mom loves these).
Sometimes a back to basics approach means the most. I will continue to hand write notes to all my clients. I’m not talking one or two sentences either – a thoughtful note to let them know they’re appreciated.
