Why a Thank You Card Can Make a Better Video


How can a “Thank You” card from a clothing store help you market your practice?
How can a “Thank You” card help you create a better video?

Yesterday my wife received a very pretty “Thank You” card from a fancy store where she had purchased some ladies accessories. (She still won’t tell me what she bought). The card was written by the assistant manager and had a personal handwritten thank you inside. I immediately wondered what she had bought that would have triggered a personal thank you card from the assistant manager of this well-known store. I’m almost afraid to look at my credit card.

Since when does a manager of a store take time out of their day to write a customer a thank you card? I’ve never heard of that.

Guess what? It had the desired effect- on me anyway. It tells me that in this economic climate this manager felt my wife’s purchase was so important to warrant a personal card. I have since learned that this purchase was a small gift for a friend, and nothing outrageous. Whew. That’s a load off my mind.

So how can this help you make a better video? Simple. Thank your viewer for watching. Thank them for the time they’re taking to listen to you. A “personal” thank you will do wonders for making your viewer feel special. Look them in the eye (the camera lens) and say “Thank you for taking a few minutes of your day to learn about lawsuits like these.”

It will make all the difference.

    Great point, Gerry. Why not go one step further and adopt the “thank you” concept to your practice? When a first-time potential client comes into your law office, why not send them a handwritten thank you note saying, “Thanks for taking the time out to come see us to discuss your case.” Many folks fear going to a lawyer’s office. Anything you can do to seem more friendly and nice… to treat them with kindness and respect… and to demonstrate that you care — will go a long way towards proving the you’re the right choice.

    That’s an awesome suggestion. We are thinking about asking new clients for wedding anniversary dates so we can send them a reminder to get a gift for their spouse.
