6 Free Sites with Amazing Images for Marketing Campaigns

Have you ever found it difficult to get the right image for your email marketing campaign?

If you’re like most marketers, you probably don’t have a design background and years of experience in photoshop, which can make it hard to create amazing images for your campaigns.

So how can you find and add amazing images to your emails that drive more conversions and revenue?

The answer is stock image sites.

For marketers in need of interesting, modern stock images, Pexels is a go-to. The entire site is free, and they have an option to create collections, so your brand or design team can gather a catalogue of images on the site for you to choose from for each send.
