Ten reasons to send someone a Notecard

Add a personal touch – send a Note card to someone.

Snail mail as we have come to call it has become increasingly rare. You know people used to hand write their letters and send them in the mail. People would wait in anticipation for a letter, the mail was special. Now we want to communicate instantaneously via email. Let’s dash off a quick note of thanks by email. People are busy let’s cut through the graces some people might say.

Worse still let’s text the person ( a “skill” I have yet to learn), send them a Tweet or post a note to a Facebook Wall. Of course these methods have their place but there are times when a personal note will be treasured and even kept for posterity. I sure will not archive my emails for all time.

I once had occasion to ask a Member of Parliament to sign some legal papers for me. When he sent me a handwritten note asking how it all turned out I was completely bowled over. In this competitive world we should make sure we send a thank you note after an interview or just when someone gives us advice. You will be sure that a hand written note on a classy card will really impress the interviewer.

So here is my list

Ten Reasons to Send a Note card.

Just to drop a note to a friend that you have not seen for a while to give them your love and to stay in contact.
Tell your Mother(or Father) you love them. Don’t wait for Mothers Day and you can celebrate both the British and American Mother’s Days. Parents can do the same for their adult children who live far away.
Send written thank you notes for Christmas or Birthday presents.
Use a plain card as a cover for a printed note inviting the recipient to an event – sign the card by hand.
Send a special “Get Well” card.
Enclose a special handwritten note card with a gift instead of a little gift tag.
Send a handwritten note card to your business contacts thanking them for their business.
Write your own birthday note in a plain note card.
Thank a prospective employer (or client) with a handwritten note. (This will have you stand out from others who don’t thank you or just send emails).
Send a handwritten note in a card thanking a friend or contact for their advice.
