Last night, @gisellegeneral requested a list of inexpensive or free businesses and resources for candidates who are looking to keep moving their campaigns forward, even if money is tight right now.

Below is a SUPER THREAD! #yegcc

Graphic design: Canva for social media and Venngage for infographics. Both have free versions with some limitations.

Social media management: Hootsuite is most popular, and at $30/month for the entry level version, not too pricey. Buffer is also reasonable ($15/month) and Later is free, but we don't have as much experience with these two platforms, so let us know how they are if you use them!

Website: We use Wix for our website, which is easy to use and offers domain options as well. Wordpress is also a good option.

Both of these offer free or low cost options, but you may want to upgrade your package once the campaign gets into swing to get better site analytics!

Databases: Lots of campaigns rely on Excel or Google sheets. Both will merge with your web platform easily. Excel and Google are more work to update but can be more flexible than your NationBuilders.

Whatever you choose, good data security is a must!
