The guide

How to write thank you emails

When to send it

Send it after something happened, such as a first order, a first visit, a booking that went well, or a customer's first month on a subscription. The reader should be able to connect the email to the thing they just did.

It also works once a year, to everyone who bought from you. A bags shop thanking people for twelve months of orders, a salon thanking regulars in December, a cleaning company thanking the homes it works in.

The one to skip is the general list. Thanks land better when the person did something you can name, so leave the people who only signed up for the newsletter off this one.

Timing

For a purchase or a visit, send within a day or two, while the reason is still fresh. For a year-end or anniversary note, pick a date and schedule it a few days ahead so it does not land at midnight.

One email is enough. A second thank you a week later reads like the start of a sale, and any discount you added stops looking like a gift.

Every template here is free on every plan, Free included. Choosing one copies it into your account and opens it in the email editor, where every word, color and picture can be changed. If you want a first draft to work from, the writing assistant can put one together from the business details saved in AguMail, and you read and approve it before it goes out.

Send it as a campaign to your whole list, or to a saved segment on Starter and above, right away or at a scheduled time. Campaigns are on every plan. The 14-day free trial opens every feature and needs no credit card to start.

Common questions about thank you emails

Should a thank you email include a discount?

Only if you can offer the same thing to everyone who gets the email. A plain thank you reads as sincere, while a discount turns the email into the start of the next sale. If you do add one, give it a real end date.

How soon should I send it after a purchase?

Within a day or two. The customer still remembers what they bought, and the email does not arrive looking like a late receipt.

Can I send one to my whole list at once?

Yes. A campaign can go to the whole list, or to a saved segment on Starter and above. Plenty of businesses send one annual thank you to everyone who bought that year.

Is a thank you email the same as an order confirmation?

No. The confirmation is a receipt with the order details, and it has to go out straight away. The thank you comes after it, says something a receipt cannot, and asks for nothing.

What should I write if I run a service business rather than a shop?

Name the job. A line about fixing the sink on Tuesday says more than a paragraph about how much you value every customer. One specific detail is enough to make it read like a person wrote it.
