When moving to a new office, one of the first orders of business is to let everyone who needs to know that you are changing locations. Depending on your business, “everybody who needs to know” can include both individuals and businesses. Typically, this means your customers, suppliers and any businesses partners.
It’s a long process, but the result is a short business letter, if it’s done right.
Creating Your Moving Notice Letter
Before we get to an example, the following are some guidelines to keep in mind as you prepare for an office move and deliver a moving notice letter.
- Develop your mailout plan about three months before the move
- Deliver your moving notice letter about four weeks before the move date
- Make a thorough list of people to contact, including customers, vendors and business partners
- Get all the contact information for current and future contacts, including land address, email address, phone numbers, contact name and number, etc.
- Keep the letter short and to the point

The exact wording of your moving notice letter is up to you. However, for the banks and financial services company, a simple note on the change of address is sufficient. No need to offer even a passing explanation of why you are moving.
For vendors and suppliers, you may want to thank them for their past service to your company before notifying them of the change.
The following example applies to customers and business associates (and even competitors, if you want to let them know!). Note how the letter implies that you are moving because business is booming, not to save money or for any other reason.
