I’m sure you’ll agree that using free marketing tools makes a lot more sense than the alternative:

Paying for an enterprise solution and then crossing your fingers that the team actually uses it.

That’s because investing in a variety of different martech tools can be so darn expensive.

And so, you need some free options that can help get the job done.

Luckily for you, I’ve put together a list of different free marketing tools you can try out for your business.
