Business Cards

Business cards are a simple and inexpensive way for your council to promote Freegle and are a good alternative when a poster may not be appropriate. Business cards can be handed out at your events, left at council owned or managed buildings for distribution or sent out with mailshots.

A generic Freegle business card graphic is available but If you want another size or a specific design for your council, just email media@ilovefreegle.org.

There are lots of places that you can leave business cards…

• Cafes
• Cinemas
• Arrange with friendly retailers to hand them out (usually ones with green aspirations).
• Supermarket noticeboards
• Corner shops and newsagents
• Estate agents
• Repair stores
• Takeaways
• Charity shops - suggest they can hand them to people who offer electrical or other stuff they can’t take in their shops.
• Chemists
• Carpet shops - good because they have lots of waste such as bits of carpet, wrapping, tubes etc.
• Churches, Synagogues and any other places of worship often have outreach projects and are happy to dish out the cards.
• Pubs & clubs
• Train stations
• Doctors and dentist surgeries
• By skips and bins (be selective with this option!)
• Bus shelters
• Shopping centres
