When was the last time you sent unexpected thank you greeting cards to someone you care about? Seriously?! I know, I know...you sent out thank you greeting cards after your wedding. But how long ago was that?

In addition to wedding thank you cards, there are hundreds of other times you could and should be sending thank you cards to the special people in your life. It could be a friend, family member, co-worker, business associate, or anyone else that has done something special for you or with you recently!

Out of all the greeting cards that are sent today, I'd be willing to bet that the thank you card is sent the least often. Why do you think that is? Well, I think it has a lot to do with our busy lifestyles and schedules.

Have you ever noticed how we share a special moment with somebody, or someone does a kind favor for us and we say "Thanks" and move on. That's it! How nice would it have been if we would have sent them a thank you card telling them how much we appreciated what they did for us.

They took the time to help you out in a special way. Whether that was attending your party, going to dinner, repairing your car, driving you to an appointment - it could be anything. The point is, they were there for you. Saying thank you in a special way would tell them how much they are appreciated.

Sending them a simple little thank you card would give them such and incredible emotional boost!

It's a proven fact that people love to be appreciated. It feels great when someone tells us how special we are! How awesome would it feel to send someone a thank you card knowing that it will brighten their entire day!

If you don't believe me, just think about the last time you received a thank you card in the mail from someone special in your life. (Hey it doesn't matter if it was five years ago after your cousin's wedding). The point is you felt great because that person was telling you how much they appreciated you and cared about you. I bet that heartfelt message had a huge emotional impact on your day - or even your week!

And guess what...sending that card feels incredible as well!

Yes, sending thank you greeting cards feels just as good - if not better - than receiving them. Why is that? Well as much as we love to be appreciated and showered with affection, we also love to show appreciation and affection toward others.

Sending thank you greeting cards to others is a simple way for us to feel great! Knowing that sending a simple greeting card is going to have such a huge emotional impact on that person's life, makes us feel absolutely amazing! There's just no other way to put it!

Now that we all know how great it feels to send and receive thank you greeting cards...how come we don't send them more often?

Well, there are a few popular reasons..or should I say excuses why we don't send thank you cards as often as we should.

Reasons We Don't Send Thank You Greeting Cards

• Thank you greeting cards have become pretty expensive these days. The price can range from $2 - $10, with the average being about $3.50 per card.
• It's not always convenient for us to get to the store, sign the card, address it, stamp it and mail it. That takes a lot of time!
• We simply forget to send them! This is the number one reason! We either forget or we simply don't think about it.

I mentioned above how our busy lifestyles and schedules play a huge role in this as well. Here's a great little quote from author Tom Hopkins in regard to the importance of sending thank you cards. I think many of us can relate to this. Maybe your parents or grandparents do the same (I know mine do).

That shows the amazing power that a simple little thank you card can have on a person's life.

We should all be sending thank you greeting cards more often. Just think of all the people in your life that you are thankful for. How about all the wonderful events that have meant so much to you. Thanking the people that are a part of your life should become a habit. It will have a huge impact on their lives - as well as yours!

The problem is that on average, we only send out 10 greeting cards per year. When you count holidays, birthdays and anniversaries - that doesn't leave much room for thank you cards does it?!

As important as it is for us to send these cards out - we simply aren't doing it often enough. Because of this we are missing out on all the wonderful emotional benefits associated with sending and receiving thank you cards.

So what's the solution? Well...there's a simple way to prevent this from ever happening again. A way to overcome the obstacles and excuses to not sending out thank you cards. Use an online greeting card service to send out thank you cards out quickly.
