It's common practice for people to send thank you notes after a successful event, meeting, or just about anything that made them happy. Not only is this good practice but good in building relationships as well. So, if you are in business, practicing the art of thank you cards is a good practice. If you can send a note to a friend you gave you a cute dog, so should you when a customer just bought items worth $1,000 from you. A simple thank you would be enough to show your customers that you value and appreciate them.
Ask yourself: when was the last time you thank a customer or an associate? It might have been too long that you can no longer remember it. If you have just recently sent one, chances are they are still sitting nicely on your customer's desk. This in turn will help your customers remember you for a long time.
