Are you feeling a bit lost trying to promote your Resale business. Which platform is right? Where are the best places to connect with potential customers? Just because we are friends I am going to share my 5 secret weapons I use to grow my business. 

 1. Photo Room 

This little app is a game changer. It will make your pictures look incredibly professional with their suite of effects. The most important feature is to remove backgrounds from photos. Nothing looks worse than a beautiful jacket hung on a door with scrapes or handprints (we all have them). You can also change backgrounds, format for different markets and even add text. The free version allows you a wide range of functions but your pictures do have a photoroom tag. I actually pay for this app which I don't upgrade many apps. This is one I think the upgrade is worth the money. PhotoRoom for Android

 2. Canva 

This program will save you so much time creating content to promote your business. There are templates for everything and it only takes a few clicks to create stunning layouts for business cards, posters, social media and more. I use the free version and I am thrilled with everything I can do. The pro version gives you more elaborate templates and options to sell your own designs. Canva

 3. SocialBee 

Now that you have all that beautiful content to share, it is time to get serious and set up a content calendar. SocialBee can help you create the right content and get it in front of the right people. I will link a video so you can learn more about what it can do. There is a 14 free day trial so you can decide if it's worth the investment. SocialBee Demonstration

 4. Koho 

This is a free banking service that you can use to collect all the payouts from various platforms. You can create seperate goals like taxes or computer upgrades and set up a plan for how much you want to save weekly or monthly. It does not include these seperate saving in your spendable balance so it is easy to save money for bigger expenses. They also do round ups on your purchases and offer cashback. I use the free version and find it meets all my needs. The premium account gives you higher interest rates and some other perks. If you want to check it out I have a code for you to receive $20 the first time you use your card to make a purchase over $5. Go here  Koho Banking.

5. Notion

This may be a less known program but it is incredibly powerful. You can use it to create inventory lists, bill reminders, cost of goods, platform requirements for picture size and product details. You can integrate with your google calendar, your google sheets, trello, and so much more. It will be your homebase for your entire business. The free version is mindblowing but as your business grows and you add team members you can upgrade your membership so that all your employees can share the same information. You can assign tasks to individuals, post a work schedule, connect it to your benefits plan website, create a human resources database to help new team members learn the ropes. This program is easy to set up and there are many free templates available like company roadmap, whiteboard, kan ban boards and so much more. If you want to have a look visit Notion. In the new year I will share a copy of my Notion dashboard that you can use as inspiration or totally just use it as is.

There you go, 5 apps that are my resale business secret weapons. If you have a different app that you use and love, be sure to leave it in the comments.
