5 Tips for Keeping In Touch With Old Friends + New Acquaintances

January 14, 2015

What’s the age-old saying, new year new you? Make it a point this year to stay in touch and strengthen bonds you may have made in the past with these tips for keeping in touch with old friends and new acquaintances.

tips-for-keeping-in-touchStay on top of birthdays. Thanks to social media, this is easy! If you’re not always on top of checking your social profiles on a daily basis, be sure to opt in for birthday reminder emails; if staying in touch is important to you, wishing someone a “happy birthday” is an easy and personal way!

Keep track of fun facts. Keep a rolodex of contact information AND fun facts you learn about them. Do they have a favorite artist or travel spot? Send them articles you may come across related to their interests. If they have children, write down any ages, birthdays, or interesting facts about them so you can bring up these facts when appropriate. Putting that extra personal touch and showing them you care will really make them more susceptible to building a stronger, longer lasting relationship.

Use email to add humor to their day. Now days, most email inboxes are flooded with promotional offers and add little value to their life. Give them a reason to open their inbox by adding a touch of humor to their day (or week). Be it a funny article, photo, or just a simple joke that will make them smile, they will be reminded of you and your bond will grow stronger. Be sure to add your contacts to the “bcc” list so their emails don’t become public knowledge.

Utilize social media. Help your other relationships by making social media your best friend! A simple “like” on a work anniversary, life milestone, or status update will keep you at the top of their mind and remind them to maybe reach out to you and give YOU a call. While “liking” is a great first step, actually commenting on the social status or photo is an extra personal touch and a great way to start a quick conversation and dialogue.

Host Mixers. Keep in touch with an entire group in a matter of hours by hosting a mixer for everyone to enjoy! This can be as complex as a themed party or wine party at your home or as simple as a happy hour at the local pub.
