Queen Elizabeth II not only holds the title for longest-standing monarch, she’s also topped the list for the most cards ever sent. Having sent over a million cards to centenarians and couples marking their Diamond Wedding Anniversaries, she is one of the most prolific card senders in history.
In contrast to the Queen’s commitment to putting pen to paper though, Inkpact - which helps brands engage customers through handwritten notes - found more than a quarter of Brits (27%) never receive a handwritten card or letter.
Inkpact has teamed up with graphologist and psychotherapist, Emma Bache, to explore how handwritten letters communicate much more than the words on the page and why letters continue to matter in today’s digital world. “The written word retains the power of intimacy and leaves potential for historians and sociologists to understand the relationships between author and recipient in a way that no other form of communication has ever done”, said Emma.
