How We Posted 1,210 Times Without Social Media
We’ve been a little quiet on social media this year, but not because we weren’t “posting.” In a way, we created our own version of social media. Only ours was made of paper, instead of pixels.
When we started hanging ARTfirmations flyers in 2024, it began with a single flyer. One small message on a wall “REMINDERS THAT YOU MATTER”. And from there, it grew. Little by little, our flyers spread through Philly… and eventually to places far beyond. In pockets, car dashboards, on bathroom mirrors, coffee shops, hospital rooms, airport gates, to name a few! Little mood-boosters for people we’ll never meet, and promoting the kind of “engagement” we like to spread.
⭐ Kindness Milestone
During this season of Giving, we took a moment to count our ARTfirmations — a reminder of how far a small kindness can go. We’ve posted 121 flyers, sending more than 1,210 little positive affirmations into many hands. We might not have grown our social media, but we know we contributed something good into the world — and it’s this kind of connection we’re truly grateful for.
