Every January, we all start with the best personal intentions. Drink more water. Join a gym. Eat fewer cookies. Lovely ideas, but let’s be honest… by February, the water bottle is missing, the gym key fob is gathering dust, and the cookies are winning.
Aw, honey, you tried…
So this year, let’s focus on resolutions you might actually keep: Your New Year’s Business Resolutions.
And no, we’re not talking about a vague “do more marketing” promise that gets forgotten the minute your inbox starts filling up again. We mean sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee and making a Marketing Wishlist for 2026… the list of things you know need to happen so your business can look, sound, and perform at its best.
Here are a few to get you started.
1. Revamp That Website
Your current site has served you well, but let’s be honest… it’s also giving you headaches. Pages load like they’re on a leisurely stroll, the layout feels a bit 2014, and you’re slightly afraid of clicking anything in case it breaks.
A refreshed website isn’t just a glow-up. It’s a chance to improve speed, user experience, mobile friendliness, SEO, design, clarity, and conversions. Plus, you’ll finally stop apologizing when you say, “Er… the contact form works most of the time.”
2. Let a Professional Handle Your Social Media
Dave in accounts means well. He really does. But social media isn’t his natural habitat.
He’s trying to post between spreadsheets, he’s sweating over hashtags, and frankly, his nerves can’t take the pressure of one more Reel.
Social media deserves a pro – someone who can write expert copy, create striking visuals, interpret analytics without breaking a sweat, plan campaigns, and keep your brand consistent.
Free Dave. Let him go back to his spreadsheets. He’ll thank you. You’ll thank you.
3. Dust Off That Newsletter
Your customers want to hear from you. Truly. But only if the content is useful, engaging, or fun.
That draft newsletter you started in 2023 deserves another look. A polished, consistent email strategy can nurture loyalty, boost sales, and remind people you exist without shouting.
Plus, once you get a few good templates in place, it becomes one of the easiest tools in your marketing toolbox.
4. Re-design Your Logo
Maybe your logo has nostalgic charm. Maybe it came from a DIY tool. Maybe it looked amazing ten years ago.
But if your brand doesn’t reflect who you are anymore, your logo might be holding you back. A refreshed identity can instantly elevate your credibility, unify your marketing, and give your business that “new year, new me” feel. Only this time, it actually sticks.
