In episode 63 of the Customers Who Click podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting to Corey Haines about swipe files.

If you don’t yet have a swipe file… You need to change it ASAP. If you see a decent landing page, you can save it for future reference. A great email campaign from your favourite brand? You guessed it - you can keep it for inspiration for later.

Every marketer needs a swipe file, a base of knowledge you can refer to when working on a campaign. Marketing can only be mastered by doing it - courses, guides and marketing degrees teach you certain things, but they don’t give you practical knowledge. Plus, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel for every landing page or email; instead, if you see something is working, save the idea, find out why it’s working and apply the principles to your business & customers.

Corey is the founder of SwipeFiles, community, courses, and content to master marketing curated in one place. He’s a marketer, maker, and proud pug owner. Previously the Head of Growth at Baremetrics and first marketing hire at Cordial, Corey has consulted with dozens of startups on marketing and growth including SavvyCal, Evercast, Riverside, Holloway, Beamer, and Timetastic.
