The Power of Compliment Slips: Small Cards That Make a Big Difference

Let's talk about something small but mighty in the business world - Compliment Slips. You've probably seen them before. Those little cards that come with your order saying "Thank you" or "We appreciate your business." Simple, right? But don't let their size fool you. These tiny pieces of paper can do wonders for your business.
At East London Printer, we've been helping businesses print perfect compliment slips for years. And we've seen firsthand how these small touches can make customers smile and keep them coming back.
What Exactly Are Compliment Slips?
Compliment slips are small printed cards, usually about the size of a postcard or slightly smaller. Businesses use them to:
-
Say thank you
-
Include short messages with orders
-
Add a personal touch to invoices
-
Send quick notes to clients
They're like business cards, but with more space for a friendly message.

In our digital world, getting something handwritten feels special. A quick "Thanks for your order!" in pen shows customers they're not just another number.
2. They Make You Look Professional
Sending out orders with branded compliment slips makes your business look polished and put-together. It's these little details that set serious businesses apart.
3. They Help Customers Remember You
That little card with your logo stays on their desk long after the order is opened. Free advertising that doesn't feel like advertising!

-
Thank you notes
