3 Scripts for Professional Thank You Notes
Have you ever had an important lunch meeting go really well only to rush off to another meeting followed by back to back phone calls and a dinging inbox? Every once in a while, the thought "I should send a thank you message for lunch" goes through your head only to be immediately forgotten by your ringing phone and email alerts. That thought pops to mind a few more times over the next week now followed by "it’s probably too late" and so you forget about it.
This is completely normal and something we often hear from customers who turn to Hello Mailbox as a solution for their handwritten note and gifting needs. In fact, it’s so common that less than 25% of the population send handwritten notes regularly despite research showing that sending handwritten notes can result in:
3x increase in customer engagement

over 100% increase in sales
And quite simply, sending a thank you note is a meaningful way of acknowledging something you appreciate.
