Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to send a thank you email?

Send within 24-48 hours of project completion, payment received, or the occasion you're thanking them for. The sooner the better—gratitude is most meaningful when it's timely.

Is it appropriate to ask for referrals in a thank you email?

Yes, but do it gracefully. Thank them genuinely first, then mention you're open to introductions if they know anyone who could benefit. Don't make the ask the focus of the email.

How do I ask for a testimonial without being pushy?

Make it easy for them. Provide specific questions to answer, offer to draft something for their approval, or link directly to your review platform. Frame it as "if you have a moment" rather than a demand.

Should I send thank you emails for every payment?

For initial payments and final payments, yes. For routine monthly retainer payments, it's optional—a quarterly thank you may suffice for long-term clients. Always thank for large milestone payments.
