\"Greeting<\/p>\n

The world is changing so fast that it’s easy to forget the small pleasures in life, like buying and sending a card to someone. It’s such a lovely gift to receive a card too.<\/p>\n

Here are five wonderful card sending initiatives that support more greeting card sending:<\/p>\n

\"Just<\/a>1. Just a Card<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a big fan of the Just a Card<\/a> campaign to support independent retailers and designer makers. The campaign reminds us all that even small purchases with our independent retailers can make a big difference. As can buying a card by an small publisher. Follow #JustACard<\/a> on social.<\/p>\n

\"Thinking<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Thinking of You Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thinking of You Week<\/a> inspires people to create a wave of love, caring and happiness by sending greeting cards to different people during the week. Thinking of You Week runs from 25th September – 1st October 2017. I like this reminder to focus on others for a week \u00a0by sending more cards. Be sure to involved this September.<\/p>\n

\"Postmark<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Feel Good Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feel Good Friday<\/i>\u00a0is a brilliant card sending initiative from London retailer\u00a0Postmark<\/a>. To encourage more people send cards, Postmark offer a free card from a special box on certain Fridays, as long as you write it in the store there and then. They\u2019ll even post anywhere in the UK for you for FREE! Visit the stores to find out more.<\/p>\n

4. The Greeting Card Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year I realised that I don’t send that many cards personally. As a New Year’s Resolution for 2017 I decided change this. Each week I visit a different shop, buy cards and send them whilst sharing my experiences on YouTube and social media. This card sending initiative aims to inspire others to send more cards too. Follow\u00a0The Greeting Card Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Festive<\/a><\/p>\n

Festive Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Festive Friday is on Friday the 1st December 2017. The aim is encourage card lovers to send their Christmas cards early. The idea is that this wave of sparkly Christmas card sending will get everyone in the Christmas card sending mood. We have a lot of fun with Festive Friday<\/a> each year in our offices. Why not join in this year?<\/p>\n

If you love cards as much as we do, be sure to spread the word about these great initiatives.<\/p>\n

Sharing is caring so get involved on social media and share your stories about card sending.<\/p>\n
