Or put your own artwork on it

Most companies do. Upload a print-ready PNG, JPG, PDF or TIFF in the app, at 108 × 140mm, and it becomes a card you can send the same day. No approval step and no setup fee, and it costs the same as one of ours.

~ why it works ~

Send it when you are not asking for anything

Most client contact has an ask attached: a renewal coming up, an invoice, a case study, a review. Clients learn to read the shape of it before they open anything.

A card with no ask in it breaks that pattern, which is exactly why it gets noticed. The good ones say a specific thing about working together and then stop. No QR code, no discount, no next step.

Retention is worth more per dollar than acquisition in almost every business, and this is about the cheapest retention spend available. $4.19 a client at 500 cards.

~ how it happens ~

The moments worth a card

Your CRM already records most of these. It is a question of deciding which ones deserve real mail.

1

After the first month

Not the sale itself, the point a month later when they have actually used the thing. Different card, much better timing.

2

On the renewal anniversary

Sent before the renewal conversation, not during it. A thank-you that arrives while a contract is on the table is a negotiating tactic and it reads as one.

3

After they refer someone

The highest-value thing a client can do for you, and the one most companies acknowledge with an email.

4

For no reason in particular

Pick a quiet month. Send to the top hundred accounts. This is the one that surprises people.

Works with HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Zapier, Make, n8n and webhooks. Anything else with an API, we will build it free of charge.

~ the hard part ~

What to write in a client appreciation card

The test: could this card have gone to any of your clients? If yes, rewrite it.

  • To a long-standing clientThe inside of a handwritten card reading: Dear Ellen, Four years this month. No agenda with this card. We are just glad you are still here. Tom
  • After they referred someoneThe inside of a handwritten card reading: James, Thank you for sending Priya our way. That means more than any marketing we do. Nina
  • A month after onboardingThe inside of a handwritten card reading: Dev, A month in. Thank you for taking a chance on us. Call me if any of it is annoying you. Sam
  • To a customer who has bought repeatedlyThe inside of a handwritten card reading: Marie, Eleventh order. We noticed, and wanted to say thank you properly rather than by email. Ray
  • To a partnerThe inside of a handwritten card reading: Alex, Thank you for a good year. The joint work in the spring was the best thing either of us did. Dana

Copy any of these. Change the name and the one detail only you would know, and it sounds like you wrote it. That is the whole job: short, specific, no sales pitch. Every card above is a different handwriting in real ink, and on a real send your CRM fills in the names, so four thousand cards say four thousand different things.

~ questions ~

Client appreciation cards, answered

When is the best time to send a client appreciation card?

When nothing is being asked for. A month after onboarding, or a few weeks clear of a renewal conversation. A thank-you that lands while a contract is being negotiated reads as part of the negotiation.

Can we send these automatically?

Yes. Connect HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Klaviyo, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook and set the trigger: deal closed, order shipped, thirty days after signup, whatever fits.

What does it cost to send to our whole client list?

It depends on the list. 250 cards is $4.89 each, 500 is $4.19, a thousand is $3.50, all with the stamp included. Under a hundred it is $6.99 a card.

Can each card say something different?

Yes. Merge fields pull details out of your CRM so every card is written individually with that client's own information in it.

Should the card have our branding on it?

Your logo goes inside so they know who it is from. We would leave the front of the card alone. A card that looks like an ad gets treated like one.

~ ready when you are ~

Send one and see. Then send four hundred.
