Handwritten notes and cards

Handwritten notes and cards, without the afternoon with a pen.

Send a handwritten thank-you after every order. A robot writes each note in real ink on 350gsm card, then we post it to your customer for you. They see a note someone took the time to write. You didn't have to spend the afternoon writing it.

The advantage

Why handwritten notes work.

It looks like someone took the time

Their name goes on the envelope in ink and the note is in real handwriting, so it reads as a personal thank-you, not another printed insert in the box.

It really is written with a pen

A robot holds an actual pen and writes every note on 350gsm card. Run your thumb across the back and you can feel the writing. A printed font is flat.

It goes out on its own

Connect Shopify, Klaviyo or your CRM through Zapier, Make or our API, and a note goes out after each order. There's no minimum when you send this way.

It carries your brand

Your full-colour logo on the card, a coloured envelope to match, and a QR code to your review page or an offer if you want one.

Overview

A thank-you that arrives a few days after the parcel

Handwritten notecards written in real ink

Handwritten notes are short by design: two or three sentences on A6 or A5 card, written in real ink and hand-addressed. That makes them quick to send after an order, a renewal or a first booking. Send one at a time from your store or CRM, or a batch for everyone who ordered last month.

Build in two things from the start. A delay, so the note lands after the parcel rather than before it. And a check before it sends, so a refund or a cancelled order doesn't turn into a thank-you.

“There is a kind of trust and sincerity in the price of a stamp.” Rory Sutherland, Ogilvy

01

After the first order

A short thank-you a few days after the parcel arrives, mentioning what they bought. Written to bring them back for a second order.

Repeat buyers and big spenders

Thank your best customers by name when they hit an order milestone, with a line about how long they've been with you.

03

Customers who've gone quiet

A two-line note on the anniversary of their last order, instead of another discount email.

04

Subscriptions and renewals

A card when someone signs up or renews, triggered from your store or billing system.

05

Reviews and referrals

Ask a happy customer for a review, with a QR code straight to your review page.

06

After a meeting or event

A handwritten note the same week, while you're still fresh in their mind.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Are the notes really handwritten, or printed to look that way?+
Really handwritten. A robot holds a real pen and writes each note in ink, so the writing presses into the card. Ask for a free sample and feel the back of it.
Do you do handwritten cards as well as notes?+
Yes. Every note is a handwritten card, on A6 or A5, for thank-yous, welcome cards, loyalty and seasonal sends like Christmas.
How much does a handwritten note cost?+
From £1.53 a note, excluding VAT, with postage charged at cost. Tell us your numbers and we'll quote you properly.
Is there a minimum order?+
Ten notes for a one-off campaign. There's no minimum when notes are triggered from your store or CRM through Zapier, Make or our API, so you can send a single thank-you.
How long should a handwritten note be?+
Two or three sentences: thank them, mention something specific like what they ordered, and sign off with a real name. Send us your draft and we'll help you tighten it.
Will it bring customers back?+
That's what a test will tell you. Send notes to some new customers, leave a similar group without, and compare their repeat orders. Some of those orders would have happened anyway, which is why you need the second group.
