Old Fashion Snail Mail

There are some traditions that the electronic age cannot replace. I am referring to the art of hand writing a thank you note. When I receive a hand written thank you note I know it was sent with thought and meaning. We do that in our studio for many of our customers.



Today I prepared 21 individual hand wriiten thank you notes to all those individuals and businesses that generously contributed to the Rosencrance benefit dinner recently held at the Buckhannon Fire Department. As the department secretary, it is my responsibility to keep up with correspondence. When it comes to thank you notes, I put just a little extra effort forward because I beleive there is something special about the words chosen to express thanks.



I frequently receive thank you notes and letters for places I've been or purchases. Most often they are form letters with standard wordign and the only personalization is my name. On rare occasions, I still receive thabk you letters addressed to Mr. Scott and Mrs. #2 Preston. How sincere is that? To me a real thankyou is done by personal phone call or hand written note or letter. Leaving a thank you by answering machine, email or text is only half way there. If electronics is the only way to say thank you then fire away. But if yoiu can, follow up the electronic thank you with an old fashioned snail mail thank you.



You'll find the little extra effort to write a personal note to a friend will strengthen and build that friendship
