Despite the amount of time I spend online and in the cloud, I love stationery! December 26 is National Thank You Note Day. Sending a thank you note is not only common courtesy but also a best practice to establish for your small business. Thanking a colleague for a referral, thanking a customer for new business or continued business, thanking an event speaker or sponsor are all appropriate. Whether you hand-write, utilize a card sending service or delegate the task to a Virtual Assistant (VA), doing so will show the recipient your sincere appreciation, increase communication, and strengthen your connection.

So grab pen, paper, envelopes, and notecards and write away, right away!
