I have this thing with shops. Shops that are independently owned especially. The beautifully curated collections, the stories & hearts behind them. Big up all you independents, creators and makers. You make the world a brighter place!! (thursday throwback photo @elkandwolf_ @misskatiecupcake )

WHY DO YOU use Instagram? What do you see as the benefits, and also the negatives? Are you looking to make lasting friendships and connections? What do you think of those people who follow you then unfollow you as soon as they’ve enticed you?! At JUST A CARD we see Instagram and Social Media as a fantastic way to build a community of like-minded people who share and support the same values as us. We want to celebrate independents and to encourage and champion all who value community and creativity. Thank You so much for being part of our community of caring, sharing people who think and value others. Social Media should be just that, Social, don’t you agree?! If you take that approach then it will become a far more rewarding experience, and in the longer term, it’ll benefit you far more. What do you think lovely JUST A CARD warriors?! .

HOW DO YOU feel about January - as a small business or just in general? Is it a sufferance or a month full of possibilities?! It can be a tough month for many, especially for independent shops and small businesses as sales dwindle - very worrying as bills still need to be paid. So - please - if you possibly can - make that extra effort to shop independent this January and beyond. Vsit a favourite local shop and buy something, anything - ‘just a card, just a book, just a gift’ - small sales add up and are so appreciated Say we sent you - you can guarantee you’ll get a big JUST A CARD smile! Let’s support each other - because SHOPPING INDEPENDENT needs to be a way of life don’t you think? How do you cope with January?! .

Many brands are trying to get into their favourite shop as they would love to see their products stocked there. Is your brand ready for this? Do you have an interesting brand story and reason why a shop has to stock your brand instead of a different one from the competition?

Before to approach a stockist to to to make sure your branding is strong and consistent. Think if your product is going to create interest and sales with the customers that specific store has.

Be super ready for any possible questions the stockist may have. If you are going to have a positive response from them make sure your products will be displayed in a visible table, shelf or rail. Products hidden by others they have in store will never get the attention of the customers. Do you have in mind a favourite shop where you would love to see your brand
