Improve Client Retention With Handwrytten
CardsThe personal experience that goes along with receiving handwritten notes in the mail far exceeeds any typed letter or email. People can feel overwhelmed with marketing messages from the businesses they work with. As a result, receiving something written by hand can be like a breath of fresh air.
It doesn’t just make your customers happy to receive handwritten letters. It also causes your brand to stand out in a world where every other business is doing the same thing. Nearly every company sends emails and form letters to its customers and clients, but few send handwritten notes.
Handwrytten Notes for a Variety of OccasionsOccasions to send greeting cards varies, depending on what is important to your clients. People celebrate different holidays depending on where they live, whether or not they’re religious, and other factors.
However, you aren’t limited to acknowledging just official holidays. People love getting authentic, heartfelt messages at any time of the year, but make sure not to get too heartfelt; sending a “with love” card to a client may not be exactly the message you want to send.
Sending an employee birthday card, a custom invitation, and a thank-you card are all great examples of how to improve client communication for any special occasion; or, in the event that an employee is leaving, you could make it the standard to create farewell cards for coworkers or employees. You could even make up your own occasion to celebrate within your brand’s community.
Handwriting Styles to Choose From
Now that you understand the importance of handwritten notes, it’s time to get real. First, let’s cover the selection of handwriting styles available at Handwrytten for public use.
Handwrytten has 29+ distinct handwriting styles available to use in your cards and letters. Each one has a clever name, from “Bounding Bernie” to “Chill Charity,” to set them apart from one another. Best of all, each one is virtually indistinguishable from human handwriting because they’re inspired after real people’s handwriting. You can see an overview of every single one of our handwriting styles here!
Having a range of penmanship styles to choose from is great, but you might be interested in even more personalization. For that, you’ll want to know how to submit a custom handwriting style.
With a custom handwriting style, you can use your own penmanship-or someone else’s, such as a sales rep in your organization. With a one-time fee, Handwrytten will scan and design your exact handwriting style. Then you can use it in any of your future mailings.
Simply connect with us at contact@handwrytten.com to set up a custom handwriting style and signature!

You don’t need to be a graphic designer to create beautiful greeting or holiday card.
