"Business"

I know the word for this is negocio, but is it a different word in this context?

"Thank you for your business"


Thanks very much for the responses!

I know "negocio" is not always a good translation for "business". I didn´t know how to translate your example. From this link I think the best translation would be "gracias por su confianza", although it might depend on a more specific context.

Gracias por su negocio is the only one that needs context. The rest are understandable and applicable by themselves the way they are written and translated.

I can understand "Gracias por su preferencia" but think it is not often used here. "Gracias por elegirnos" or "Gracias por confiar en nosotros" would be some alternatives.

I wonder in which context someone could say "Gracias por su negocio".

"Gracias por sus servicios" es lo que diría en vez de "Gracias por su negocio" (yo tampoco le encuentro uso normalmente).
En vez de "gracias por su preferencia" yo diría "Gracias por preferirnos" o "Gracias por elegirnos" como señala Don José.

"Gracias por su preferencia" se usa con mucha frecuencia en México.
