Free marketing resources and planning tools
Why share resources for free?
Gift (noun); a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.
By sharing free resources, you start the foundations of relationships with others. You show how much care about your clients, you build client trust and loyalty. Give gifts to make both the receiver, and the giver, feel splendiferous. Share resources specific to your industry, to also position yourself as an expert in the field. Free resources that offer business help and add value in the long term often result in long-term brand exposure as your contact uses and reuses the resource. That might be an annual planner on their wall, or a tutorial video. Free resources are a brilliant way to share expertise, educate your clients and grow a reciprocal relationship.
