Visual planning tools for visual thinkers

A Pocketful of Inspiration for Your Marketing Planning

Online planning apps are all very well, but there’s something special about being in physical contact with a visual aid. As human beings we consume physical content differently to digital, we retain the information better, give it more of our attention, and get more inspiration from it.

Physical visual aids are a proven way of planning – think of all the times you sat in a meeting room plotting out an idea using sticky notes on a wall. Our Mapper Cards® are a more sophisticated version of that, except that rather than blank pieces of paper they come already printed with tips and prompts such as defining your target audience, types of content and are a step-by-step way to create and build your brand. The prompt cards are full of ideas to inspire you when you feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities.

Our Mapper Cards™ look like a deck of playing cards – and that’s more or less what they are! There’s a version of our Mapper Cards® for each area of building your business. Each set includes in a stylish box that can sit on your desk, and a zip pouch to store your prompt cards in, ready for you to dip into when you need an idea, inspiration or are ready to move onto the next step.

“I absolutely love the Mapper Cards! As someone that works with entrepreneurs who all have different needs but all need strategy, the cards are perfect for planning and help my neurodiverse clients get where they need to be with planning. They also help me plan out so many different parts of the business - sometimes all you need is to see it visually! ”
