A Free Swipe File for Copywriters, Freelancers, Designers & Direct Marketers
A "Swipe File" is a place where you store a bunch of inspiration for your marketing. A good swipe file spans different industries, different mediums, and different eras.
Swipe File's are not used for stealing, but rather gaining inspiration from other work. So if you're feeling un-inspired you can browse through your Swipe File and gather some ideas quickly.
Marketers have been learning from others forever, but we found the first published mention of a "Swipe File" in a photography magazine from 1975:
Even back then, professional artists and creators were actively collecting their own personal Swipe Files! There's 4 main ways you can keep your own Swipe File for future use:
#1.) Keep a Physical Swipe File
This is where you keep a physical folder or drawer full of swipe file examples.
These physical Swipe Files are great for keeping pieces of direct mail, brochures, or flyers you get in the mail.#2.) Keep a Computer Desktop Swipe File:
This is just a simple folder you keep on your computer desktop. Anytime you stumble across something interesting you want to save, just take a screenshot and drag it into your "Swipe File" folder!
I do this all the time and it's extremely useful!
The only problem with these computer desktop Swipe Files is they are often kept privately, not shared, and not well categorized.#3.) Keep a Mobile Swipe File
Since many people spend 50% or more of their internet browsing time on their phone now, having a Swipe File folder on your phone is great!
I save pieces of great content and ads in my phone Swipe File all the time:Every month or so I'll transfer all the mobile swipes onto my desktop computer to keep them in sync.
#4.) Use the Free and Curated SwipeFile.com
