Thank You Letter to Clients for Positive Comments

Businesses which are recommended or otherwise receive positive comments from clients should always acknowledge this feedback. Sending a thank you letter to clients who make positive comments is good business etiquette.

Content of a Thank You Letter for Positive Comments

Thank you letters for positive comments can follow a set template, though there should be some attempt to personalise the letter to the client and his or her comments. For example, simply entering the subject of his or her comments is often enough to make a form letter pertain to the client directly. As these thank you letters would be relatively short if they simply contained an expression of thanks, many businesses also take the opportunity to include details of how the clients' comments will be used, future plans that the business may have and details of any gift or discount being sent to the client for giving the business feedback. However, all of this information should be secondary in the letter and come after the explicit expression of thanks.

Format of a Thank You Letter for Positive Comments

Thank you letters to clients, for any reason, are business letters and as such are formatted more formally. The name, title and addresses of both the writer and recipient should be included in the letter, as should the date and more formal salutations and closings. The signature of the writer should be the only handwritten aspect of the letter as the other contents should be typed and printed on company letterhead. Posting these letters via regular mail is appropriate. In some cases, if the writer and recipient are very close, then these letters may be sent via more informal email but e-cards and commercial cards of thanks should be avoided for thank you letters to clients for positive comments.
