The guys (and girls) of 1000heads, like many, took part in last year’s Movember campaign. If you’re not familiar with Movember, or if you want to see how the more and less hirsute of us fared, check back here and here.

As we’ve said before, it’s a great cause, a fun (and highly social) idea, and every year Movember seems to grow in popularity, much like the myriad of moustaches it inspires. What’s more, something arrived in the post today that has taken our relationship with the organisation to a whole new level.

It’s always nice when someone takes the time to say ‘thank you’, but it’s even nicer when they do it in a thoroughly thoughtful, surprising and delightful way.

A hand written card (no printed text or autopen in sight) says so much more than a catch-all email, blog post or tweet.  It says ‘we really do appreciate your support’, and it does so in a physical, tangible and highly emotional way.

The result? This year’s Movember may not be happening for months, but it’s already in our diary. And there’s a lesson here; sometimes it’s the very smallest of things that have the very largest of impacts.
