Free Marketing Ideas
If you are looking for free marketing ideas, business opportunities and practical ways to find more customers, you are in the right place.
Free Marketing Ideas is about finding better ways to grow a business without spending a fortune. That includes low-cost marketing methods, using AI effectively and, increasingly, finding something even more fundamental: where the demand already exists.
The Weekly Demand Hunt
Every week, we search across the UK for unusual pockets of demand, shortages and emerging opportunities. We look for evidence of products people are struggling to find, services people are actively looking for and situations where demand appears to be running ahead of supply.
No generic lists of side hustles. If we don’t find anything genuinely interesting, we won’t invent opportunities just to fill the email.

Proven Methods
Many of these are the methods I used to grow my own business with NO BUDGET.
Expertise
I’ve worked in marketing for most of my career, including as a consultant.
Identified Demand
Weekly updates on products & services with evidence of strong or unmet demand.
The “How To” Marketing Toolkit
When I started my business I had no marketing budget, so I had to find ways of promoting it without spending anything (or at least very little).
I developed a low-cost marketing approach to grow my business with minimal expenditure. The toolkit and templates will show you step-by-step, how to do the same.
Glenn Blackman MBA
I’m Glenn Blackman MBA and I have spent over 25 years marketing different businesses.
I have worked with all types and sizes of organisations from well-known banks to smaller independent companies. Most recently, I have marketed my own business and built it to a point where it supports a comfortable lifestyle.
Having done this whilst spending next to nothing on advertising, other people have expressed an interest in my alternative approach to generating new customers.
Get The Weekly Demand Hunt Free
Every week, we look for unusual evidence of real demand across the UK.
That might be a product people suddenly can’t get hold of, a service customers are struggling to find, a regional shortage, an emerging trend or a time-sensitive opportunity.
We investigate, look for evidence of demand and competition, and share the most interesting findings. Some weeks we may find several opportunities; other weeks there may be none. We also share marketing tips and ideas.
