Best practices for writing thank you messages

Writing personalized messages doesn’t have to be complicated. Just keep these best practices in mind when crafting your thank you’s:

Be mindful. A “thank you” out of the blue is meaningful, but too many thank you messages can make the words lose their meaning. A yearly or bi-annually thank you message should suffice for most customers.
Be concise. Long, heartfelt messages are well-received by customers … typically from their close friends and family only. As a business, it’s better to be short, sweet, and to the point with your gratitude.
Be genuine. Avoid coupling your thank you message with an upsell. It can read as disingenuous and may potentially put off some customers.
Be proactive. Use this time to ask your customers for valuable feedback to see how you can improve their experience. You can include a customer survey link at the end of your message. You can learn more about customer survey links in our article “Customer satisfaction surveys: Best practices for sending CSAT, CES, and NPS via SMS.”

24 thank you for your business message examples

It’s essential to know what channel to use to communicate with your customers. While each customer has their preferences, some common communication channels for thank you messages are email, text, or a classic handwritten letter. As a general rule, emails are better for longer, more formal messages (think like a letter,) while texting is better for short and sweet notes.

Benefits of using texting for thank you messages

Sending a note of gratitude is a beautiful sentiment, but where and how you send the message matters. While email is the standard place to send thank you messages, email has a low engagement rate because it’s impersonal. If you’re a small business with few clients, you can likely get away with handwriting personal thank you letters, but those aren’t efficient for most companies.

One channel to consider for sending thank you messages is texting. Text messaging is a great medium to send thank you notes because texting is one of the most popular communication channels in the world. Most people have their cell phones on them at all times, so it’s no surprise that texts have a 98 percent open rate, compared to emails at six percent.

You can add a ton of personality into a text by sharing an emoji or a photo, which is encouraged since texting is a personal medium by nature.
