How Ink’d Greetings Is Sparking a Kindness Movement

By: Kyle Macdonald, COO of Silicon Oasis There’sa quiet revolution happening — not in protests or headlines, but in mailboxes and moments of kindness. And it’s all thanks to Ink’d Greetings , an AZ company built on the belief that small gestures can spark big change. Founded by Andrew & Sammi Ekmark with a simple mission — to make it easy to spread joy — Ink’d Greetings creates modern, thoughtfully designed greeting cards that blend sincerity with playfulness. From uplifting messages to clever illustrations, every card is meant to be a little beacon of human connection in a digital world. Now, they’ve launched their most ambitious initiative yet: the You Matter Movement. What’s the You Matter Movement? Ink’d Greetings is inviting you to help spread a little joy — for free. Through the You Matter Movement , they’re giving away 5 greeting cards from two themed bundles, each packed with adorable, encouraging designs. Each card includes a prompt to complete 3 simple acts of kindness , turning every gesture into part of a nationwide chain reaction. The goal? To remind people — in big and small ways — that they matter. How It Works: Pick a bundle – Choose your favorite theme and get your 5 cards shipped or pick them up in person. Give them away – To anyone who could use a boost — a neighbor,a friend, or even a stranger. Do the kind acts – Each card outlines 3 small but meaningful ways to spread joy. Share the moment – Post about it on social media and tag @inkdgreetings with #YouMatterMovement. Get rewarded – The first 10,000 participants will receive a $ 10 gift card as a thank-you from Ink’d. A Movement in Motion In just 72 hours, the campaign has already inspired over 16,000 smiles — and counting. It’sa powerful reminder that even in a noisy world, kindness still resonates. As Ink’d’s founder shared: “We started this campaign to accelerate our mission of making it easy to spread joy — and now we’re seeing the chain reaction unfold in real-time.A small gesture can truly go a long way.” - Sammi Ekmark.
