My Favorite Free Resources for Your Concierge Biz
Last week, I threw a little something fun for my amazing members in the 100K Club and the Fully Booked Business Club a Summer Resource Party!
I wanted to create something that felt like “let’s hang out, sip cocktails, and swap life + biz hacks,” and that’s exactly what we did. We laughed, connected, and shared some of the free resources we can’t live without!
So this week, I thought… why keep it a secret?
Let’s share the love with YOU too especially if you’re working on how to start a senior concierge business or already running one and looking to stretch that budget while keeping things professional and pretty.
Because let’s be real: when you’re just getting started, every little resource helps and free is fabulous.
Royalty-Free Image Resources I Love
There’s SO much to do when launching and growing your business from branding and marketing to choosing what services to offer. It can feel like you’re spinning plates 24/7.
So here’s one thing you can take off your stress list: finding high-quality, free (or budget-friendly) images that make your content and brand look polished.
Before I share my fave resources, a few quick tips:
Kelly’s Quick Tips:
Always read the fine print – Make sure you’re using images in line with copyright rules. Even free images have terms.
Free is great but invest wisely – I love free, but I also believe that any image on your website (especially homepage or services page) should be paid and high-quality. Save the free stuff for social media posts or blog headers.
Our Go-To Photo + Design Resources:
Whether you’re creating a lead magnet, social post, or a “get to know me” blog… here are some resources to bookmark now.
Pexels – Great for modern, stylish lifestyle photos.
Pixabay – A wide variety of photos and illustrations.
Unsplash – Super high-res photos, perfect for blogs and inspirational posts.
Shutterstock – Paid, but amazing quality. (Great if you want to invest a little.)
DepositPhotos – They offer promos like $100 for 100 images. I grab this deal once a year and I’m set!
Canva – Amazing design platform with free templates (upgrade to Pro if you want even more).
WordSwag App – A fun little phone app for adding text to images. Great for quote graphics or service promos on-the-go.
