How To Scale Your Outreach In A Personalized Way
Last year, Handwrytten commissioned a survey to measure how consumers prefer to be contacted. In this extensive survey, we polled 2001 Americans over the age of 18 on how they prefer to communicate with their peers and with their brands.
Key audience demographics captured included household income, preference for premium or economy goods and percent of non-grocery purchases performed online.
Here is a summary of some of our key findings:
Only 20% of Consumers Often Feel Appreciated for Being a Client
Only 1 in 5 consumers said they often feel appreciated. Sadly, 31% said they “rarely” or “never” feel appreciated.


This problem is especially relevant for off-line shoppers: 38% of those who mostly shop off-line, never or rarely feel appreciated as a client compared to 26% of those who usually shop online. Digital sellers have have more ways to interact with their customers, so they have the leg up.
When Consumers Feel Appreciated, It Benefits Your Brand
When consumers are shown they are appreciated, they respond. 60% say they would be more likely to buy more. 49% say they would be more likely to spend more per purchase. 54% say they would be more likely to write an online review, and 63% say they would more likely tell friends and family about the brand.
The Best Way to Thank a Customer is to Send a Handwritten Note
When consumers were asked what makes them feel appreciated, handwritten notes win out. 45% of consumers prefer it over traditional communication channels such as an email, a text message or a phone call.

I really appreciate the real estate agents who are just genuinely kind. The ones who don’t compete by tearing others down, but instead lift people up, share what they’ve learned, and offer support simply because they can. Their mindset isn’t “how can I get ahead at someone else’s expense,” it’s “how can I help someone […]


Whether you’re tired of the high cost and low ROI of purchased leads or simply don’t know where else to find prospects, there’s a better way. Your next listing (or buyer) is closer than you think.

Right before your real estate business grows, things usually get harder. Doubt creeps in. Deals fall through. Leads go cold. You start second guessing yourself. Most agents take that as a sign to slow down. To pull back. To wonder if this is really worth it. And just like you, I’ve thought this too, it’s […]
