6 Marketing Tools to Grow Your Business

Every business, no matter how big or small, needs tools and systems in place to run smoothly. This is my resources index, a list of trusted online marketing tools and websites that I recommend to operate and optimize your business. Each one of these vendors have been personally tried and tested by me over the years. They have become the tools I rely on to operate my business and those of my clients.

Websites

Bluehost

I can’t say enough nice things about the service and commitment at Bluehost. Beyond the headache-free support, you can have your new website up and running within 5 minutes with an easy one click install of popular apps like WordPress. Try unlimited hosting for $5.95/month.

Themeforest

When a custom website design isn’t in the budget I always recommend browsing the templates at Themeforest. They have the most comprehensive collection of themes for you to quickly launch a beautiful, responsive website for WordPress and other platforms.

Sucuri

Website security is an ever-increasing necessity. Avoid the headache of your website going down, and get peace of mind with a relatively cheap antivirus solution. Sucuri will continually monitor your site, carefully assess any damage then safely perform a cleanup. All guaranteed.

Email Marketing

Mailchimp

Email marketing is so important. Keeping an open line of communication promotes return users, and more engaged visits. MailChimp is great for easy drag and drop email templates and scheduling. Free subscriptions available for accounts with less than 1,500 email addresses.

Aweber

Another favorite email marketing service, Aweber connects with other platforms to make it easier to follow up after someone gives you their email address. If they make a purchase with PayPal or register for a webinar on a landing page, they’ll get added to your email list so you can focus on sending the perfect email.

Printing

Moo

I love great design and believe it can work wonders for every business. That’s why I rely on Moo for printing beautiful, expertly crafted business stationery and promotional materials that’ll help you start conversations, open doors and strengthen relationships.

Give these tools a shot and see how your business improves. What are your trusted marketing tools? I’m currently testing out Leadpages and Convertkit for better lead generation; I’ll update this list depending on how it goes. Fingers crossed well!
