Re-branding a company, like many other business initiatives,  is a big job and keeping track of it all can get to be a bit overwhelming. Being the techno-geek that I am, I went to find some resources on the web to help. I wanted to share these with you, because now matter what you are working to achieve I believe that they can make your life a bit easier.

1. Evernote – Think of it as a virtual filing cabinet for everything and anything. I started using it to catalog design ideas for our new site. Now I use it for everything from recipes to client data management to To-Do lists. Once you get started with Evernote, it just might become part of your daily life and the best part is that it automatically syncs with your phone, ipad, and computers! Free with paid options.  www.evernote.com

2. Dropbox- A great tool for sharing large files among a group of people. We use it to collect photos for our stock photo gallery as well as keeping all of our frequently used templates and files. Like Evernote, Dropbox will sync to all of your devices and it doesn’t care a bit if you are PC or Mac. Free with paid options.  www.dropbox.com

3. MindJet- A piece of mind mapping software that does so much more than mind mapping. We used it initially to map out the structure for our web navigation and have since used it for marketing planning, document prep, gantt chart creation, and even curriculum design. Not free… but you can get a free trial! www.mindjet.com

Whether you’re starting an new Zip Line tour, building a challenge ropes course, or just wanting to streamline your operational processes in your adventure business, these tools can make a world of difference! What are some tools that you use?

  1. Thanks for the tips, Paul. I just got Evernote and haven’t really used it much. I need some time to explore its beauty. I’ve used Dropbox for a couple of years and love it. I’ll put an agenda in the dropbox folder at home. When I get to the course all I have to do is call it up on my phone.

    • Anytime, Tim! Evernote just made a huge improvement in their mobile app functionality, especially with their check boxes. There is a great wealth of info on their blog as well!

  2. Of course, there are always alternatives 🙂 Google Drive for DropBox, SpringPad instead of Evernote, and HappyTODOS (disclaimer: I work there :)) instead of Mindjet. Worth checking out!
