5 Free Marketing Tools You Need to Know About

While developing your marketing strategies and posts, it can get overwhelming on what to create, how to create, and what tools you need to succeed. We have pulled together five tools that help us with everything from content creation to event registration to data analysis.

Canva
Over 2 million people use Canva to help with creating images for social media, blog posts, and other uses. This FREE resource makes developing images easy with the drag-and-drop builder. If you are not a graphic designer, there are premade templates and free images.

EventBrite
Whether you are hosting weekly events or only a few events a year, EventBrite is an efficient, easy-to-use tool to manage logistics (like ticketing) and to promote events. Eventbrite allows you to set up ticketing and payment for the event all within the same platform. Eventbrite is always free if you're hosting a free event. Otherwise, EventBrite charges a small commission on ticket sales.

MailChimp
Email marketing allows you to bring your message directly to your customer’s inboxes. MailChimp is an email marketing tool (free for up to 2,000 subscribers) and is easy to learn.
