Yes! Yes! Yes! I never received hand-written letters anymore. In fact, my hand-writing is so bad and so embarrassing. Yet I completely agree with you that sending real mail is such a nice touch. I thought it was my only secret 🙂 (I’ve been sending real postcards to my art collectors with my own handwriting for a while now, they love it 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement. I just ordered 500 postcards to send to my list with words of love and encouragement. Just needed the reminder.

Thanks for using my cards to illustrate this wonderful blog post, Alyson. I’m finding that sending out cards is not only a way to stay in touch with my subscribers, buyers and Art Safari guests, but it’s a way for me to make art with less pressure (we can all do with less pressure right now) and a great way to connect with people without worrying about the normal marketing messages, which can seem inappropriate at this time.

WOW! Just got to read this email today – and it really struck me! YES!! Real mail!! I hate email marketing anyway! Busy thinking about what I can send to collectors and others – to brighten their day! I have a flush of ideas – for today – and as a wonderful connecting opportunity going forward! It’s a step back to the way we used to do it – direct mail! And I LOVE it! Thank you for the idea, Alyson!! I’m going old school and showing up in my collectors lives in a more authentic way!

The day before I received your email I thought now would be a good time to send cards to family and friends. So yes, why not send them to my collectors. Thank you!

Always, thank you, Alyson. Two days ago I received a surprise check in the mail from one of my vendors. No prior notice of sale. When I opened the letter, besides the check it included simply a note to be safe and enjoy. I know how that made me feel. A little later I decided to send some hand written notes to my friends (we’ve been doing texts and emails) to put a smile on their face and be just a little surprise. After reading your message today, I definitely will be sending some notes to my loyal customers.
