Thank You Letter Question????

Does anyone send out thank you letters after your face painting parties?
This is something I would like to do because I appriciate their business.
Maybe give them a discount for next time. Would anyone like to share their thank you letter verbage? I need help with wording.
By the way, here is something something I did from Exteme Face Painting.

Nice face! Sending a thank you note is a very good idea. No discount though, or they'll expect it every time.

This was the end of a letter I wrote to customers who booked me as part of a fundraiser. Maybe you could used these lines or something

"I hope that your experience with me was a good one. I look forward to being a part of your next event.

P.S. If you would like to write a review about my services please visit http://www.gigsalad.com/miss_tanyas_face_painting_easton/write_review

Thank you for everything!"

I send these in a very bright polka dot envelope. Colours match the cards.

Glitterfly, I LOVE those! Very nice! I send a thank you and a satisfaction survey.

I have postcards made up like our biz cards, and there is a small spot for a quick handwritten "thank you" No discounts, tho. Also, some clients have been strictly over email, so in those cases, I just send a thank you email. I like to add specific things I enjoyed about their event, and always attach any photos I took(with permission).

I have some custom folded thank you cards. I just write a brief note or memory from the event. I also attach a magnetic business card as well. No discount.

Almost all of my bookings are through email, so I send a customized thank you that includes what I enjoyed and any photos that I have (with permission). No discounts, as I agree, they will expect it. I do ask if they want to post a review and include a link. I ask if they would like to join my monthly mailing list for future deals.

GLITTERRFLY THAT LOOKS GREAT. THANKS FOR POSTING PICTURE. THAT REALLY HELPS OUT.

I do post cards too...You can make one side printed and professional, but still keep the personal touch of a written note on the back. I usually write something like "Dear [client], I just wanted to say thank you very much for inviting me to be a part of your event! I really enjoyed painting the kids and hope they had a wonderful time as well!" I don't offer discounts either. Sometimes I do both post cards and email. Hand written letters are rare these days so it's a nice touch, but the nice thing about email is you often get a reply back about how great the face painting was. Then I have a quote from a customer to add to my "client testimonials" page on my website! ;-) I do also design Christmas cards and send them out to each client (or at least my bigger/regular clients). Acts as another thank you and a reminder that they may want to book me again!

That is very nice. I think when I reorder stationary I'm going to do something like that!

Oh I love the idea of Christmas cards- sent out early they would be an excellent reminder to book for office parties/ New Years, not to mention the slow months that seem to fall right after. Adding it to my (ever expanding!) list.

Nice robotic face!
Glitterfly, I also love the Thank You Letter you use!

I send a thank you postcard to the child - I LOVED getting mail when I was a kid! - so I'm sure that the kids who are old enough, get a kick out of getting a handwritten postcard in the mail.

To new clients I email a quick thank you along with a satisfaction questionnaire. Not everyone gets back to me, but I've been really pleased with the responses so far

I also send out holiday cards. Store bought so far, but am considering customized ones for 2012.

Wow that is certainly a great idea to sent them to that child. Mom would love that you thought to address it to them. I'm going to adopt this suggestion if you don't mind.
