How Handwritten Notes Can Set You Apart
In today's digital world, handwritten notes have become a rarity. Think back: when was the last time you received one from a business associate? If it’s recent, you likely remember exactly who sent it and when. Handwritten notes offer a unique way to distinguish yourself in business, and here’s how you can incorporate this powerful tool into your routine.
Make Writing a Breeze
1. Keep Supplies Handy: Store your stationery and stamps where they’re easily accessible. When you’re ready to send a note, it should only take a moment to jot down your thoughts and address the envelope.
2. Keep It Brief: Aim for three or four sentences. A concise message prevents writer's block and ensures you communicate clearly and effectively.
3. Develop a Routine: Before heading to a meeting or event, address an envelope to your host. This simple prep step makes it easy to pen a quick thank-you when you return.
4. Choose Professional Stationery: Opt for single-sided correspondence cards or fold-over notes with your company’s logo. They convey professionalism and represent your brand well.
5. Don’t Worry About Perfect Penmanship: Unless your writing is illegible, most recipients will appreciate the gesture more than the quality of your handwriting. If you’re concerned, consider practicing or accessing online resources to improve.
6. Seize Every Opportunity: Handwritten notes are versatile. Use them to:
- Acknowledge a gift
- Thank someone for hosting you
- Appreciate a meal or favor
- Accept an invitation
- Send condolences
- Offer congratulations
- Apologize
7. Be Timely: Send notes promptly. A thank you should ideally go out within 24 to 48 hours. However, it’s never too late to express appreciation.
8. Go Beyond Email: While a quick email is fine for immediate follow-up, it shouldn’t replace the personal touch of a handwritten note. Sending both shows extra thoughtfulness.
Elevate Your Relationships
Successful professionals focus on details and seek meaningful ways to build relationships. Handwritten notes help you stand out for all the right reasons and might even lead to your next big opportunity.
By embracing this timeless gesture, you differentiate yourself in a digital world. Take the time to write, and let your business connections flourish.
