Inflation Relief Contest

With inflation reaching a new record-high, and the increasing cost of back-to-school shopping weighing on families, Just Between Friends is helping local sale communities navigate the expenses of back-to-school season with a social media photo contest that includes money-saving prizes and nonprofit school supply donations.

“Shopping for the family has been hard this year,” said Shannon Wilburn, CEO and Co-Founder of Just Between Friends. “With back-to-school season hitting amid increased inflation and rising cost of living, families are looking for new ways to save on essentials. Just Between Friends is happy to be a resource as our fall sale season begins, and we want to help local families and our communities as we continue navigating these unprecedented economic times.”

Contest Details

Just Between Friends (JBF) is calling on parents to share photos of their children ‘Ready for the first day of school,’ dressed for success, feeling confident in their consignment finds. Now through Aug. 31, parents who post their photos on Facebook and Instagram, tagging @JBFsale and using the hashtags #DressForSuccessWithJBF, will be entered into weekly and grand prize submissions.

Throughout the campaign, Just Between Friends will announce two weekly winners on social media who will be selected to win $100 vouchers for their nearby upcoming Just Between Friends sale. The grand prize winner will be announced on Instagram and will receive a family backpack of resources to help combat the all-too-common pain points brought on by inflation – including a Visa gift card for essentials like clothing, gas and extracurricular accessories and a meal box.
