Tip #17: Stop the Scroll: The Power of Handwritten Notes

In a world buzzing with DMs, emails, and notifications, let’s talk about a branding move that’s so retro it’s revolutionary—handwritten notes.?

Imagine this: After a great chat at an event, you send a beautifully penned note that says, “Thank you for your time! I really enjoyed learning about [specific topic]. Excited to connect again soon!” Signed by you. Delivered by snail mail. What happens next? That person smiles, feels appreciated, and instantly remembers you. Talk about top-of-mind awareness!

But why is this old-school method pure branding gold? Let’s break it down:

It’s personal. A handwritten note says, I see you. I value you. It’s not just another generic follow-up—it’s tailored, thoughtful, and 100% you.

It’s memorable. In a sea of digital sameness, a physical card screams originality. It’s the kind of keepsake people pin to their boards or leave on their desks.

It builds trust. The time you take to craft something by hand reflects authenticity and care—two things every brand needs to thrive.

It’s the ultimate flex. Want to sprinkle some professional flair? Use custom-branded stationery featuring your logo, a motivational quote, or a chic design that screams you.

Here’s the magic: You’re not just writing words—you’re creating an experience. The texture of the paper, the weight of the envelope, the personal touch—it all becomes part of how people perceive your brand.?

And if you're not a fan of your handwriting remember—your effort still wins the day. Just keep it genuine, relatable, and you. In a world that’s gone digital, a handwritten note is the ultimate way to stand out. Ready to dust off your pen and leave your mark?
