For gifts given on birthdays, anniversaries, religious celebrations, birth and bridal showers and weddings: Keep it real. Be sure your thank you note fits the person you are thanking by the toe and style of your writing.
In your thank you note, mention the gift and how you plan to use it. Even if the gift is a monetary one - you can tell the giver how you plan to use their generous gift.
Be sure to acknowlede how wonderful and/or useful the gift is in your thank you note.
Always send your thank you notes within two weeks time or as soon as possible so that the gift and what it means to you is fresh in your mind.
Protocol for a monogram: Example: Susan Ann Doe When a monogram has a large middle initial, the center inital represents the last name, the initial on the left represents the first name and the initial on the right represents the maiden or middle name = S D J
However, many couples are using both of their first names in the monogram. Example Susan and John Doe. The same guide line applies, however, one person's name is to the left and the other person's name is on the right = S D J
When you complete a job interview, thank the interviewer for giving you the:
Time of the interviewer
Information you received in the interview
Hospitality of the receptionist, interview and others
Consideration of the organization to be hired as an employee
Opportunity to advance in your career
Business reasons to send a thank you note: Send a personal note of congratulation when someone you know is cited for a personal or busines achievement.
Promote good will by acknowledgeing an order or referral with a thank you note.
Joanne Black, author of No More Cold Calling states "Personal notes are always the mail that gets opened first."
And this advise from C. J. Hayden, busines coach and author of Get Clients Now, "To most people, an anonymous brochure recieved in the mail is merely junk. A personal, handwritten note on attractive stationery will get someone's attention. Why?
Because you took the time to write it. It makes the recipient feel special. And that's how he or she want to feel as your customer."
