Top Marketing Tips for 2023

With the new year in full swing, now is a great time to look at your business strategies and see what you can adjust and where you can improve. The first place you should look? Your marketing strategy! Taking a good look at your marketing plan and re-evaluating your needs is one of the easiest and best ways to bring your business success. And with some marketing tips and tricks, you're sure to make 2023 the best year for your business! 

Consider adding some of these tips and ideas to your marketing plan so that you can hit the ground running in the new year:  

  • Budget. First, look at your budget and see what you can adjust. Get a good understanding of what you spent last year, what items you spent the most on, and if there was a good return on investment in certain areas. If not, you can decrease spending or cut it out entirely and put it towards another, more successful marketing strategy. Make sure you understand your goals and objectives well to know how to budget your marketing plan. 

  • Social Media. Similarly, look at how your social media performed in the past year. Did your posts resonate with your audience? Did you gain followers? If so, was it as many as you had hoped or planned for? Are the platforms you're using working for you and are there other platforms you can join that may connect you more with your audience? These are all crucial to your brand's online success. Brainstorm ways to engage more with your followers and use your channel's analytics to see how and where you can improve. 

  • Content. While you're looking at your social media, review the content that you've been creating as well. What were your most successful posts, and what made them perform so well? What audience were you targeting? Analyze specific things like word count, images used, like and comment numbers, and shares so you can try to replicate it in the future. You should also look at which posts didn't perform as well and ask yourselves the same questions, so you know what not to repeat. Make sure that even if you're using past posts to inspire your new posts, you're keeping them fresh and new. Revisit content when you can, but only if it's engaging your audience! 

  • Trends. Do a quick review of trends in the marketing world. That may include last year's trends and how they're still doing (are they still trending, or are they on the way out?), as well as the current trends that are starting to pick up in pace for the new year. 

  • Data and Results. If you still need to start using and looking at analytics, start doing it now! Analytics can give you hard data about how your marketing campaigns (social media, email campaigns, blog posts, etc.) perform, giving you measurable numbers that show results. Start tracking data, so you know how your content is being received and so that you can know exactly where you should spend your marketing budget!
