Build the anticipation of Thinking of You Week!

The week of September 15th, send cards!

Share the excitement on social media.

Soak up the feelings that come with sending a card, delivering a smile.

Use the toolkit

We’ve put together a toolkit with useful downloads, social media banners, press release templates and lots more.

Toolkit

Promote thinking of you week to consumers

Promote the week on your online store during the month of September.

Some ideas:

  • Offer free shipping so customers can spend their money on stamps!
  • Buy 6 single cards and get a seventh for free – so you have 7 cards for 7 days.
  • Include a stamp with every order that uses the code ‘thinkingofyou’

Support the week by contributing artwork or thoughts that can be posted on social media via the GCA’s Thinking of You Week team. Send to th***************@***il.com to be posted, or post them yourself. Share your own #cardstories and tell us which cards have been sent to whom and why – for example, ‘You’re My Superhero’ card was sent to a doctor after the sender had surgery.

Follow and share social media content on Instagram and Facebook. Our hashtags are #thinkingofyouweek and #sendacarddeliverasmile.

Use our official hashtags especially during the month of September.

Who are your Seven? Encourage people to make/share a list of the people they plan to send cards to, as it may give other people ideas.

For example:

  • my oldest friend I never see who lives in a small town in the Rockies
  • My mom who always deserves a card
  • my niece who is 5 and loves opening mail

Quick Tip

Use cards that might otherwise be written off to support your event

Get involved with your local community

Do you have a contact at a local school who might help organize an event?

For example:

  • Write cards to service people or veterans
  • A local school organized all 700 students to send a card to one of their students who was in the hospital
  • Connect a class of kids with a local nursing home. This could be part of a class in addressing envelopes, empathy, thoughtfulness.

Send cards from your own company to any of the above
