Cut Through The Noise With A Handwritten Note
June 18th, 2010 - Jeff Turner
I recognize the incredible value of a handwritten note and I suck at actually sending them.
Greg Meyer, from Gist, does not. We received this in the mail today. It was a followup to our face-to-face meeting at Buzzre Portland and conversations about their upcoming API release. We’ve had several digital conversations on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, email and even a GoToMeeting session, but in the midst of all that, this handwritten note stands out. It cuts through the noise like a knife.
We now have “design a card we can use to send handwritten notes” on our to do list. Thanks, Greg.

I recently wrote a post about my tree man and the great job he always does for me. I received the nicest, most positive handwritten note from him and it’s still making me smile. Practically no one does that anymore, but if we all stopped to think about how happy we are to get a personal note – not an email, text message or fb chat – we would do it more often.
I could NOT have said it better myself.
