Free Marketing Help

Some people might not be comfortable enough to offer free solutions for the same services they charge for. Well, there is a reason; I understand that many small businesses are operating on a budget. If nothing, Hand-Raiser Marketing is about small business success, which sometimes conflicts with our own capitalist goals. Without further adieu, here are a list of companies that I don’t make a dime to promote, but I do because I like their offerings.

I like to use Survey Monkey for all survey “stuffs,” when I’m on expense control.

Map Stats can give you the lowdown on what demographics are in the markets you serve. If you’re looking to expand…

Microsoft offers a pretty comprehensive Budget Planning tool. It’s easy, just fill in the blanks!

Want to network online? Try LinkedIn to start growing your online professional network.

Email is still important, no matter how inefficient and SPAMMY. I use Mail Chimp when I want to design HTML emails, or manage not-so-large email lists.

That’s enough for now. So, get to it and start doing your messaging thing. It feels good to get the word out about how awesome your business is at doing what you do. Don’t forget to call me if you need some help, though. Nobody’s ever made it alone, regardless of what they tell you.
