Resources
So much information, so little time!
We know how difficult it is to sort through the data overload out there. So we’ve created this page to alert you to marketing resources to improve your lot. Some are free, some aren’t. We’ll tell you which is which and, where appropriate, we’ll give you a quick rundown on what they contain.
This is a work in progress, so check back from time to time for the latest updates!
Technical Advice
- Where the files are labelled PDF, you can either open them in your browser (if the dear thing supports such an operation) or else “Right Click” your mouse button and “Save As”. [After all these years do we really need to tell you that you'll need a PDF reader program such as Adobe Acrobat to open and read these files?]
- If the files are labelled “Registration Required”, we’re typically sending you to an external site who want to know who you are before they share the keys to their treasures. We try to send you only to legitimate sites, but things change online so “if you or any of the IMF are killed or captured, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions”. And don’t blame us, either. No responsibility taken, okay?
