Thanking customers

Don’t let your thanks get lost in a standard email.

After a first purchase, a large order or a year of working together: a thank-you card written with a real pen. With its own text for each customer, sent straight away or automatically.

Every customer gets the same thank-you email.

Your most loyal customer and a one-off buyer get exactly the same “thank you for your order”. Automatic, impersonal and closed within a second.

What usually happens
  • Your thanks is buried in the order confirmation.
  • Big customers get the same treatment as small ones.
  • A year of working together passes unnoticed.
  • A card on the doormat that shows you noticed.
The difference

A handwritten card gets a different kind of attention.

A card isn’t buried among twenty notifications. It lands on the doormat, gets picked up and often stays around for a while. And because Lightr really writes it on paper with a real pen, it doesn’t come across as yet another automated marketing message.

So a thank-you becomes something that stays on the desk, not a line at the bottom of an order confirmation.

In practice

Here’s what your first campaign could look like.

Example campaign

From first order to returning customer.

A customer orders for the first time. A few days after delivery, they receive a thank-you card with its own text and a QR code leading to their next purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about thanking customers.

Can’t find your question? Jacqueline will be happy to help you personally. 0342 781 008 info@lightr.nl See all FAQs
Can every recipient get a different text?

Yes. Every card can have its own text, not just a different first name. You add the text for each recipient through your list or integration.

Can I include a gift card?

Yes, via Giffy. The gift card is linked to the recipient’s email address and becomes available as soon as the QR code on the card is scanned. This requires an email address for each contact.

How do I send you my addresses?

Add recipients one by one or upload your own CSV or Excel file as it is. The mapping tool lets you match the columns to the right fields.

How quickly does the card arrive?

Orders of fewer than 2,500 cards are dispatched within two to three working days and delivered by post within seven days of purchase. For larger quantities, you’ll see the current schedule in the platform.

What is the minimum number of cards I need to send?

You can start with a single card. Activating an account is free and needs no credit card; you pay per mailing.

What happens to my customers’ data?

The data is stored in the Netherlands. You set the retention period yourself, with a minimum of twenty days. After that, personal data is anonymised. Want to change the retention period? Just get in touch.
