ManyThanx Reinvents the Thank You Note

New York, June 8 2010 –Making a great impression.In this impersonal day and age, there’s nothing more important. Whether you’ve just landed a new account, received a job offer or made a professional connection, following up with people in an effective way that makes you stand out from the crowd is critical to your continued success. That’s when (www.ManyThanx.net) can make the difference between being just a number­—and being number one.

“As society increasingly relies on impersonal digital communications, sending timely, personalized thank you notes has never been more meaningful” states Janet Odgis, Creative Director of ManyThanx^TM..  “We take this issue to heart with the introduction of a line of contemporary corporate and personal “thank you’s” inspired by a passionate belief in the enduring value and impact of the handwritten note.” Taking the time to personalize a note speaks volumes about how much you appreciate the person you’re sending it to. Composing those notes on cards of the highest quality and creativity demonstrates your unique sense of style and thoughtfulness too.

Our fresh, elegant ManyThanx^TMcardsfeature a mix of typography, patterns, textures, color and shapes printed using ecologically responsible materials and processes,” says Janet Odgis, whose award‑winning graphic design firm Odgis + Company created these artistically innovative cards.

Odgis, with her design colleague, Rhian Swierat, and the help of designer Kate Mrozowski, wanted to create these cards for the pure joy of it and they knew other people would treasure them too. “We are introducing the ManyThanx^TM line based on 19 distinct themes. With playful product names like “Suitable” (made of woven typography) and “Face It” (emoticons made of punctuation), we have designed a sophisticated, understated expression in the form of note cards—a little box full of ample gratitude for every occasion.”

But if you do so with an email, you’re sending the wrong message.
