Welcome to The Yardstick Agency Online Shop, which is now open for business!
Engage, educate, and add value with our guides, animations, and e-zines
The shop contains a range of:
They’re all produced by our in-house team of experienced financial services copywriters.
Once you’ve bought one of the guides, e-zines, or animations, our designers will add your branding to ensure everyone who sees it understands it’s come from you. To show you what they look like, we’ve mocked the assets up in our fictional financial services brand, Loxley Financial Planning (we hope you like our strapline!).
Great value, and big discounts for existing Yardstick clients
The guides, e-zines, and animations already offer great value for money, but Yardstick clients will also enjoy a discount of over 25%.
Just to be clear, a Yardstick client is a business or individual who we’ve previously developed a website for, takes Yardstick Membership, or receives coaching services from us.
Try before you buy
We want you to understand what you’re buying, so we’ve decided (unlike other similar propositions) to show you 100% of the content before you buy. That way, you can understand exactly what the guide, e-zine, or animation says and there will be no surprises when we deliver it to you.
Plus, before we process your order, we’ll review the content to ensure it’s bang up to date. After all, there have been a few changes recently (thanks, Liz, Kwasi, Jeremy, and Rishi!).
So, what’s on offer?
Guides: 18 to choose from plus something new from Chris Budd of the Institute for Financial Wellbeing
Our guides cover a range of topics including personal finance, financial wellbeing, and those which have a more lifestyle focus.
Each guide:
- Will be branded with your logo and colours
- Offers an in-depth and engaging analysis of the topic
- Is written by our team of experienced financial services copywriters.
We add a new guide to the shop each month.
So far this year, the most popular guides have been:
- The parents’ guide to paying for university and student loans
- Your complete guide to financial protection
- The useful guide to reaching your retirement goals
The latest guide is written by Chris Budd, founder of the Institute for Financial Wellbeing (IFW).
As you’d expect from Chris, the guide is all about financial wellbeing.
The guide reveals some of the steps people can take to make better decisions with their money, such as understanding sources of wellbeing and thinking about their future selves.
The guide costs:
- £175 for non-Yardstick clients
- £125 for Yardstick clients (we told you there was a great discount!).
I’m also delighted to announce that the revenue from this guide will be shared equally between The Yardstick Agency and the Institute for Financial Wellbeing.
So, buying it means it’ll benefit your clients and a worthy cause.
E-zines: Great content, fantastic design
Our e-zines give you the same great content:
- In a magazine-style layout
- Packed full of visually engaging charts and graphics.
Again, each e-zine will be rebranded with your logo and colours.
The latest e-zine to be added to the Shop is Your guide to the gender wealth gap and how to close it.
Despite a narrowing in recent years, there’s still a significant wealth gap that could negatively affect women and their ability to achieve long-term financial security.
Our e-zine looks at some of the financial challenges women face, from retiring with smaller pensions to the effects of divorce. It also offers practical advice for women to grow their wealth and have confidence about the future.
Other e-zines include:
