New Business Resource from Adobe Express
Adobe has recently published a resource alongside free marketing tools that local businesses in Frankfort should find useful. Our resource page has information on weathering economic downturns and contains links to open-use design tools that help create standout advertisements, social graphics, logos, and more. They're completely free and simple to use, even for those who aren’t experienced designers or marketers. Although the current recession is making it hard to stay afloat, we’re hoping to make things a little easier and kick off 2023 for Frankfort's businesses with a positive outlook.
