Thank You Notes for Business?

When should you write a thank you note for business? Certainly after you receive a gift of hospitality - human kindness that goes beyond the normal business setting but when else? According to the Economic Times they suggest:

To the host/hostess after a dinner invitation When you receive gifts via courier or mail To the boss, after being entertained by him or her or after a promotion When you receive congratulatory notes When you receive referrals or recommendations for your business To a colleague, for any special help To volunteers for help for a project (charity, sports or networking event, industry forums) After a hospital stay, for sympathy letters or gifts or flowers

What’s the appropriate time between receiving a gift and sending a thank you note?

Ideally, write a note of thanks within 48 hours, but up to a week is permissible. Having said that, it is never too late — even if a lot of time has lapsed, write one and apologise for the delay.

That sounds nice!

Gift Gratitude?

Found this in a bit of national gift research:

When it comes to gratitude, according to the survey, over one-half of Americans do not expect a thank you for a gift. While women are more likely to anticipate a sign of appreciation, both men and women agree that an in-person thank you and a handwritten note are the most acceptable ways of expressing gratitude for a gift. Most also agree that a phone call is acceptable; however, when it comes to high-tech modes of communication such as e-mail and voicemail, agreement significantly drops. A faxed note is the least acceptable method of saying thank you.

“As times and technology change, it’s still the personal touches that are most meaningful,” added Spizman. “Make every gift count.”

What surprises me is the decided decline in satisfaction when a personal call is placed to provide a thank you for a gift. While a handwritten note is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of thank yous, one has to think that a phone call would suffice in today’s harried lifestyles. Heck if it were me, I’d be happy just getting an email - what about you?
