MARKETING HACK

Double Your Future Sales With Handwritten Notes

A South Korean beauty retailer found that customers who received a handwritten thank you note spent 100.5% more on future purchases than those who didn’t.

Interesting: The study found that photocopies worked just as well as original notes… 

But pairing the note with a discount or gift reduced its effectiveness. 

Takeaway: A simple handwritten note could be the personal touch your business needs to boost customer or client loyalty. 

Speed things up: Fill in the blanks, then paste the following prompt into ChatGPT.

It’ll write the note for you in 3 seconds:

"Write a concise handwritten thank you note for my [insert business type] thanking customers for their purchase of [insert product/service], and wishing them well with using it.

Additional details about my product/service:

[insert any relevant details to consider]

Keep it warm and friendly, with no promotions."

Then, write it on paper, photocopy it, and test it on a small scale.

HEADLINE TEMPLATE

“Focus”

Why The Headline Works:

• Urgency: It suggests that there's information that can't be missed.

Examples Using The Template:

• Gardening: "Focus On These 7 Critical Plants When Creating a Pollinator Garden"

• Software Developer: "Focus On These 5 Critical Features When Choosing a CRM System"

• HR Consulting: "Focus On These 3 Critical Policies When Implementing Remote Work"

Speed Things Up With ChatGPT:

Fill in your niche, audience, and content type, then paste the following prompt into ChatGPT.

It’ll give you 10 clickworthy headlines using the template and generate an entire content outline for any you like.

I’m a content creator in the [insert niche] niche, targeting [insert audience]. I want to create a [insert content type, e.g., reel, blog post] based on this template:

Focus On These [Number] Critical [Items/Concepts] When [Performing Specific Task]

Example from a different niche: "Focus On These 3 Critical Areas When Renovating Your Bathroom"

Generate 10 headline ideas for my niche using the template. 

At the end, ask if I'd like an outline for any headline.

Follow-Up Prompt (If I Request an Outline):

Create an outline for the selected headline, tailored to my content type. Include sections, main points, and format-specific tips.
