I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, filled with food, fun, and family. I am under the weather, which makes me grateful for all the other days of the year when I am perfectly healthy. I am beyond blessed for this three-and-a-half-year-old. He is my everything.
Want to know the best way to sign your emails? Think of this holiday.
A simple “Thanks” has been proven with research to receive the best response rates.
- “Thanks in advance” receives a 66% response rate.
- “Thanks” receives a 63% response rate.
- “Thank you” receives a 58% response rate.
Personally, I’m not a fan of “Thanks in advance,” but up to you.
Aw, hoping you are feeling better. Happy belated Thanksgiving and hoping you are enjoying, as well as relaxing this weekend, too 🙂
I can’t believe he’s 3 1/2! Gorgeous boy. I usually find my emails with a banks and then with an exclamation point at the end. I wonder how that fares?
I like that. Signing emails with “Thanks!” I might start using that. It’s like extra enthusiasm!
Happy Thanksgiving! What a heart-warming pic ❤️ Personally I use “Thanks so much” or “Thanks much” 🙂 I agree with your thoughts on “Thanks in advance”
Hi Sonnia, hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 2018…here we come!
Happy belated Thanksgiving to you, Catherine – hope you are feeling better.
I don’t love “thanks in advance” either, but I always sign an email with “thanks” or “thank you” – why not express your gratitude if you can?
Hope you’re feeling better, Catherine. I’m so sorry you’ve been under the weather, but ’tis that time of the year, I guess??
I can’t believe your boy is 3.5 already! Where does the time go? Gorgeous photo of you both <3
I like signing off with "Best" but maybe I should switch it up a bit. "Thanks in advance" always sounds so robotic to me though!
Charlotte, I used to sign my emails “Best” as well! Maybe switch it up and track your response rate! Let’s use data to see which fares better.
