Practical Steps to Writing Thank You Cards (Part 2 ) - Get organized. Getting organized to send out thank you cards involves 4 things: You need an envelope, a thank you card, a pen, and a stamp to mail the card.

Stephen suggests an optional 5th item —your business card. I don’t recommend you put your business card in a thank you card. If you’re sending thank you cards, it’s about thanking those people, and showing them that you care. You’re deepening the relationship and building trust, not soliciting a transaction. This is a way to say thank you in an honorable way and be truly appreciative.
