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!
