  • Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to spread the word.

    Promote you are a JUST A CARD supporter in your social media bios.  Don’t forget to use @justacard.

  • Wear our iconic ‘SUPPORT INDEPENDENTS’ campaign pins and show you pledge to shop small. 
    They encourage conversations and help generate sales.

  • If you can, donate to the campaign.
    JUST A CARD is a grassroots campaign.  Every penny given or spent in our shop helps us keep the momentum and the mission moving forward for the benefit of independents everywhere.

  • If possible, please buy from an artist, maker, independent shop or small business today!

    Never underestimate how vital every sale is and how grateful they will be.

  • Whenever you buy something, ask yourself, ‘Could I buy this from an independent?’. 
    Make your purchase count, invest in your local community and think about shopping small whenever you can.

  • If you can and do buy something, leave that business a kind review, a generous referral, a like or follow on social media. 
    A friendly comment means the world to a small business.

  • Download, display and use our range of affordable resources.  Our resources bundle includes posters, point-of-sale reminders, online inserts and stickers to support everyone selling at markets, fairs, events, in shops and online.  They encourage conversations and help generate sales.

  • Display our popular window stickers in your shop window.  Over 17,000 stickers showcase the mission in shops across the world, so you will be in excellent company.  They REALLY DO encourage conversations and help generate sales.

  • Join our vibrant community on Instagram. Whilst we are on Twitter and Facebook (see below), Instagram is our preferred social media platform for sharing campaign news, updates, inspiration and events, so make sure you follow us there. Many supporters have made lasting connections, and sales too, by being part of our Instagram community.


 
 

Small actions make a big difference.  As you can see from the story of why the campaign was founded, it’s sadly too late for the independent shop which inspired our founder Sarah Hamilton to take action.  But it’s not too late for millions of other small businesses around the world. 

Let’s work together to make a difference today.

 
 
I believe buying ‘just a card’ from small independent makers really does make a difference to their success.
