What software or service do you use to create marketing material?

[Michael Epstein]

Mailers, flyers/listing sheets, presentations, door hangers, letters. even social media posts...what software are you using to design these? 

Does your firm provide you with these tools or are you responsible for your own?

Thanks for any insight!

We've been using an online community called Fiverr where you can purchase "gigs" starting as low as $5. You're basically paying a freelancer of some kind to do anything from design a business logo, create a website, develop a video, create marketing materials....you can even find someone to proof read your term papers through Fiverr!  You can either scan through the gigs that are featured (along with ratings and reviews for every service provider) or you can post the gig that you're looking for and wait for replies. I have been super happy with everything we've had done through Fiverr so far: logo design in multiple file formats, website development, business cards, logo wear. They are VERY quick and responsive - they have to be or they receive poor ratings. It's a great way to get exposed to the, quite literally, the entire world of designers and service providers without having to look all over for them. Good luck!
