Day 2 of the #JustACard Instagram Challenge (I'm a bit behind! ๐ฎ) Day 2's prompt was, "What does 'Just a Card' mean to you?" If you scroll on the photos, you'll see the story that inspired the wonderful @sarahhamiltonprints to set up the @justacard campaign, and we are so grateful she did! โค๏ธ "Anybody who chooses to run a small business right now must be absolutely mad!" Or maybe.... just maybe they are incredibly passionate about what they do, and they want to share something new and wonderful with the world, AND make people happy whilst they do it! Small businesses that are running today have weathered the post-lockdown slump in sales, a cost of living crisis, and probably a lot more mentally and physically that you just don't see. It's not just about 'making a quick buck'. We want to bring some joy into our small corner of the world, and we want to enjoy it too! It's not JUST about selling things. It's about creating unique products or services that big companies just can't do on a mass-produced level. It's about incredible customer service, where you can actually speak to the owner of the company. It's about WANTING to make people happy, instead of wanting to get rich. It's about a circular economy and supporting our local communities. So it's more important that ever to do what we can to support these diverse and frankly, incredible businesses. But what can we do? It could be Just a Card, but it can also be; JUST a share JUST a like JUST a comment JUST a recommendation Because to a small business, it's not JUST something small. It really does mean the world. ๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป #KentCoastGhosts #JACIndieWeek #handmade_hour #ArtisanMade #MadeInKent #MadeinGB #artistssupportingartists #UKMakers #sbswinner #MHHSBD #communityovercompetition #smallbusinesscommunity (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClVpbkPM-n9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
