Sent two letters in October of 3013,made 26 sales.
I send career updates. Got paid.
I will always do this. It is a cheap way to market.
Real artists leave paper trails.

I love this idea, I write handwritten thank you notes in my creative business sometimes but I would love to do it more and really make it a regular thing! Thank you for reminding us of an important part of gratitude 🙂

I send out 50 plus handwritten illustrated letters, each year.
It’s a good inexpensive way to brand. I draw on the envelopes and put color
on the letters. Been doing it for many years. People get art from me often.
Real mail works.

It took me over 12 years to get into the habit of sending thank you cards to my clients. It is the very best thing I have done to give myself a sense of closure on each portrait project, and that “closure” is only an opening to future relationship and business. I try to send cards out the month after a project has shipped. This month I sent earlier due to the holiday.

Ahh, part of the joy of working alone is not having to depend on a gallery to collect names and addresses of buyers! It’s enough that I, too, forget! So many little details to remember in the excitement of a sale!
btw, a pet peeve of mine is getting letters that only LOOK hand-written!

To add…Don’t forget the In Person Thank You…Also the Reciprocal Buy, where you say thank you quietly by buying something that your customer/collector is selling, or by throwing business their way…
