13 July 2026·1 min read

Quick answer: Run a joint-venture promotion by teaming up with a complementary business to promote each other's offers to your respective audiences — for example, they recommend your service to their list in exchange for you doing the same, or you co-create a bundle. Agree the offer, the split (if any), and how you'll each promote it. JV promotions unlock warm, high-converting audiences you couldn't reach alone. 💖
