Importance of Compliment Slips
Although the traditional size of a compliment slip is 210mm x 99mm, there are no set dimensions. Some historians argue that the size evolved from that of business cards with others maintaining they are derived from the size of a letterhead. In either case, compliment slips are a popular product for building and maintaining good customer relationships and increasing awareness of your company brand.
Be adventurous and dabble with a modern and friendly approach to make your slip appealing and stand out from the rest. Compliment slips can be both formal and informal and used on occasions to replace a letter of reply. So remember to leave a decent amount of white space for your hand-written notes.
Some people such as Linda Hailey in her book Kickstart Marketing even suggest the majority of your slip should be hand-written to provide a personal touch. We guess that probably depends on your handwriting!
What are Printed Compliment Slips used for?
When compliment slips are used in a formal capacity they generally accompany a product or document as a reference to your business information and contact details. This is an excellent opportunity to increase brand awareness with your customer, so ensure the layout and content of your slip is well thought out and serves its purpose well.
