Cross-Promotion

Definition

A collaboration where two complementary brands promote each other to their respective audiences, generating mutual exposure without paid advertising costs.

Why it matters

Cross-promotion gives you warm access to an aligned audience for free. It works best when both audiences would genuinely benefit from both brands.

Example

A yoga instructor and a nutritionist promote each other's programmes to their email lists. Both gain 200 new subscribers from a single campaign.
