Develop the habit of saying “thank you” to everybody for anything and everything they do. Say “thank you” to your spouse for everything that he or she does for you. Say “thank you” to your children for anything that they do around the house. The more you thank your spouse and your children, the more positive and happy they feel about themselves. The more eager they are to do more of the things that trigger your appreciation.
Throughout your day, say “thank you” to people who do things for you. Thank people for giving you appointments. Thank them for their time. Thank them for their comments. Thank them for their generosity. Thank them for their help. Thank people for everything you can think of.
And send “thank you notes.” Thank-you notes are some of the most powerful self-esteem and relationship builders ever invented. When you send a thank-you note to someone, even one that contains only a few words, he or she often remembers you positively for months or even years. You can set yourself apart from the crowd by becoming known for the different ways that you express gratitude toward other people, by the number of different ways that you say “thank you.”

Absolutely, for both your professional and personal lives.
Since you posted this in the Small Business section, I assume you mean in the professional capacity.
There's a two-prong accomplishment to thank you notes:
1) They let your clients/customers know that you appreciate their business. After all, if we didn't have them, we'd be nowhere.
2) A final thank you note leaves a fresh impression in the mind of your client/customer. It also gives you an opportunity to ask if there's any other assistance you can offer.
Hope that helps!

i think so. They show an act of kindness and it show that you appreciate what they did or you've done for them. i think it it matters. It would matter to me if someone didn't give me a thank you card for something I did. How would you feel?
