Do You Send Handwritten Thank You Notes to Hosts?

[DebPC]

I did until about a year ago. Now I personally thank them over the phone when we close. And when I'm mailing them receipts for outside orders and their order- I do a cute sticker from Sticking To Business and stick it on their receipt.

Writing a personal thank you note is something I aspire to do, but somehow never quite get there. I know as a host for other DS companies, the couple of times I received a thank you note always made a big impression on me, and made me a much more loyal customer.

Yes! I have one in my bag ready to go at the show, then I write it in the car and add something personal to it and pop it in the mailbox on my way home.

Absolutely. Customers like to know they're appreciated

I also send birthday cards (SB with hand written B-day note inside) to past hosts and guests and offer a little somethin-somethin' is they order or host during their birthday month

Would love to hear more about this. Is their b-day on your draw slip? how do you get them to give it to you?

 

[Oracle]

Yes, I have them add their birthday to the drawing slip. Middle of each month I run a list of B-days for the following month, write the notes and put them in envelopes.

I drop them in the mail approx 2-3 weeks prior to the b-day. To remind myself when to mail I write the mail date on the corner of the envelope that I'll be covering with the postage when I mail them.

I use the letter in P3, but personalize it for the host's show. I always sign it at the bottom, not just have my printed name - like you would do with a business letter. When I bring the printed customer receipts to the host, I include the Thank You note with that packet, along with a recipe sheet if I have one for an item she is getting (DCB, Covered Roaster, Rice Cooker, etc).

I have a personalized form of the thank you from P3, which I hand sign. I also hand write the address on the envelope.

Where do you keep the list of B-days? Is this in P3?

This birthday thing is such a great idea. It shows that you value your customers and hosts. Thank you so much for sharing - I must start doing this!
