What to say in a thank you note to a client
If you want to make your own thank you notes, make sure to include the following elements to keep them polite, professional, and positive:
- Start with “thank you.” Make the purpose of your note clear by starting with the most important message: your genuine gratitude. This tells customers upfront that you aren’t trying to sell anything.
- Make it personal. The best thank you notes include the customer’s name, service, and details about your experience with them—like meeting their new puppy or a unique feature on their property. This prevents your note from sounding generic, demonstrating that you really pay attention to and care about your clients.
- Tell your customer why their business is important. Use one line in your thank you note to tell the clients what their business means to you. Like supporting your team, your family, and the community where you provide essential services.
- Finish with your name. While you can simply end with your business name, you can add a personal touch by using your first and last name, your family members’ names, or the names of the employees or subcontractors who completed the work.

How to send thank you notes
Handwritten notes, emails, and text messages are some of the most popular ways to send thank you notes to clients.
You can also call clients to express your appreciation using one of our templates as a script, but most clients find written communication more convenient.
Handwritten thank you notes
Handwritten notes work well for clients who book high-value services or who are celebrating an anniversary with you, like five years of being your customer. A handwritten personalized thank you card is the perfect way to show your sincere gratitude to your customers.
If you decide to handwrite a thank you message to a client, make sure you:
- Use nice stationery, ideally with your company branding.
- Practice your penmanship in a draft.
- Sign your name at the bottom.
Once your note is finished, put it in an envelope, add the client’s address, and drop it off at their home yourself or put it in the mail.
Email and text message thank you notes
Emails and text messages are the most common ways to send thank you notes to clients because they’re quick and convenient. You can either handle them manually or with automated client communication software.
If you choose to send thank you notes via email or text manually, make sure to:
- Send them at the right times (like immediately after a booking or 24–48 hours after a job ends).
- Double-check the phone number or email address for accuracy.
- Confirm the client’s name and service.
- Use a template to prevent typos and spelling errors.
Sending messages manually can work if you have a small client list and limited services. But for bigger teams or businesses with large customer bases, a mobile field service app like Jobber is a better option. You can use it to:
- Schedule automatic follow-ups after every job to say thank you, gather feedback, and ask for a review.
- Choose different methods for different scenarios. For example, a simple booking confirmation with a thank you note works great for text messages. On the other hand, longer messages with personalized content make better emails.
- Store your client and job information, so you won’t need to worry about re-entering client details, sending it to the wrong person, or letting a valuable customer slip through the cracks.
The benefits of thank you notes
Sending a simple “thank you for your business” message is one of the most cost-effective, easy, and sincere ways to express your gratitude for your clients. By adding them to your customer service strategy, you can:
- Collect feedback. Thank you notes are a natural place to start a conversation about customer satisfaction. If you want to gauge how happy a client is with a job, it’s easy to ask for feedback in a thank you note.
- Earn more business. Appreciated customers often become loyal customers. Repeat business is one of the best ways to grow your company because of how affordable it is. Plus, it comes with potential referrals, helping you to bring in new clients.
- Promote your services. When you send a thank you note to a client, it’s an opportunity to mention any relevant services or packages to them. Or, you might highlight your customer referral program, encouraging them to share your services with friends and family to receive a discount.
- Show customers you care. Thank you notes tell clients they’re more than just a number—they’re a valued customer.
Thank you notes go a long way in building strong relationships, loyalty, and customer satisfaction. By adding them to your client communication strategy, you can enjoy a variety of benefits, like the ones outlined in this video:
