The Magic of "Thank You!?"

"Apprecition MarketingFeeling Gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

From the book Appreciation Marketing: How to Achieve Greatness Through Gratidude, by Tommy Wyatt and Curtis Lewsey.

The fact is, even the best of us, in this age of multi-tasking and the 80 hour workweek, have found a way to cheapen and expidite the gestue of sayng thank you. We can thank the invention of the internet and the world wide web, because email is part to blame.

An email is better than no appreciation but it has come to be known a the path of least resisitance. It will suffice.

What do you do to set yourself apart? Isn't that what successful business is all about? Have you implemented an "Appreciaiton Marketing Strategy"in to your business?  Most people have great intentins, I be you do, but admt they are horrible with follow through.  We all know actions speak louder than good intentions.

In the business areana though, especially today, those age old words-thank you- have given companies, organizations and indiiduals a serious edge in the market place.  When was the last time you received a heartflet greeting card in the mail box that thanked you and did not ask for anything in return? When was the last time you received a  handwritten note palced on  your desk, on your windshield, on your door, or even your pillow?  The thought of it feels much better than an email , right?

Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, buillt a $1.2 billion cosmetic empire becsue she understood the importance of gratitude. Her personal philosophy was to send out three hand written thank you cards before bed every night.

Tom Hopkins built his Real Estate empire on what he learned from his grandmother. He sent 10 handwritten notes every day and his income went from $50 dollars a week to a empire that thrived on 99% warm referrals.

Question is: How do consistently and effectively do you say thank you?  How motivated are you to put the power of gratitude to the test?  The monetary beneiftis are well documented.  But, are you wondering how it will make you feel and how it will change the life of the reciever? Priceless!
