Parents share their wins on Instagram for a chance to win a total of $10,000


ST. PAUL, Minn., July 27, 2023 - Announced today, Post-it® Brand from 3M teamed up with Nicole Ari Parker, actress, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist to encourage parents to celebrate their wins (big and small) this back-to-school season with the "Think Loud" Sweepstakes. Now through September 15, parents can post a picture on Instagram of their to-do lists, goals and thoughts on a Post-it® Note with #ThinkLoudSweepstakes for a chance to win a $5,000 back-to-school shopping spree for their children and an additional $5,000 to enjoy on items for themselves.

A recent Post-it® Brand survey found that 77% of parents list "running the household" as their top challenge, and 69% cite "managing schedules" as their next greatest obstacle. However, 85% of parents believe they're more likely to achieve a goal if you write it down.1

"Knowing how hectic the back-to-school season can be, I'm excited to encourage parents to jot down a reminder to themselves and celebrate the amazing job they are doing for their families," says Parker. "My family teases me because I have notes all over the house! The Post-it® Super Sticky Notes (3in x 3in) are in my purse and car at all times, and the larger sizes are on the front door just before I leave the house. It is the only thing that works for me."

"On any given day, parents have so much running through their minds and sometimes, it's hard to manage it all," says Jeff Shusta, vice president, consumer business at 3M. "Each and every day, Post-it® Brand helps people get their thoughts, feelings, reminders, list, etc,. out of their heads and into the world to spark something bigger. The back-to-school season is the perfect time to reset, get excited for the new academic year, all while honoring the accomplishments parents have done for their loved ones."

Whether you are a parent prepping for a new school year, a teacher getting ready to return to the classroom, or a student looking to improve study skills, there is a perfect Post-it® Product for you.
