Write a Letter Appreciation Week
With technology so handy, the joy of sending and receiving hand-written letters grows increasingly rare. Make a point to write a beautiful cursive letter.
Drive stationery, pen, and card sales by positioning handwritten letters as a meaningful alternative to digital communication during March 1-7.
- Curate a 'Letter Writing Kit' bundle (premium paper, fountain pens, wax seals) with gratitude prompts
- Share before/after stories of recipients moved by handwritten notes from customers
- Partner with educators to promote cursive practice and letter-writing in classrooms
- Host a 'Letter Exchange' event or social campaign encouraging followers to mail appreciation notes
Since 2011, Write a Letter of Appreciation Week has been a holiday that encourages people to write letters instead of texts and emails, saying thank you and whatever emotional sentiment comes to mind. Writing letters makes the writer more considerate of the words chosen, helps the writer pay attention to their grammar, and even encourages better hand-writing.
While cursive writing is still taught in schools, many forget about cursive due to today’s technology, and the goal of this holiday is to give people a better option to write personal letters that show appreciation for the ones you love.
Write a Letter Appreciation Week gives people the time to write a letter to anyone, whether it be for parents, relatives, teachers, coworkers, or anyone who has inspired greatness in others.
The holiday is about giving to others the words that cannot be communicated through speech or bought gifts. It’s about giving from the heart – a letter meant to pour all words of appreciation onto a piece of paper.
