Budget-Friendly Image Editors for Small Businesses

As a small business owner, you may not be able to invest in Photoshop or any of the Adobe Creative Suite as a marketing tool; especially, if you’re just getting started. Business funding is spread thin, but the quality of your marketing images don’t have to suffer. With these four image editors, you can experience everything you would use with Photoshop, but for free. That’s right—all these image editors require no fee and allows for extensive editing control. Create all your marketing materials without sacrificing quality. Here are the top four free image editors:

Pixlr—Have complete style control over your images with Pixlr. You’ll have precise control to add effects like crosshatch or play around with overlays, stickers and borders. Try a double exposure or apply a gradient to blend images. It is available online and offline.

Ready to get bold? Explore the possibilities with us.

In today’s fast-paced world, perception is reality. On average, you only have a mere 7 seconds to capture someone’s attention through any marketing tactic. According to the Harvard Business Review, your long-term success depends on winning the attention of others. What sets most successful businesses apart is an ability to capture others’ attention visually and through the written word. These businesses understand that if no one is paying attention to them in a meaningful way, no one will invest in their products or services. Steve Rubel, chief content strategist at Edelman (one of the world’s leading global communications firms), says it best. “Attention is the most important currency that anybody can give you,” he says. “It’s worth more than money, possessions or things.”

So, we ask, what perception are you giving your clients or customers? Are you taking your marketing seriously? Have you paid real attention to your message and look? Does your marketing make an impact?
