2. An Improved Employee Experience

At the heart of every business is its hard working employees, and it’s more important than ever to consider the changing needs of your team and the individuals that make up your workforce as a whole. Research has shown that employees are far more likely to be satisfied with and loyal to a company that allows them to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Meet with your team to discover what they’d like to experience while employed with your company, and do your best to accommodate and embody your employees’ values as much as you do your own.

3. Solid Digital Marketing Strategies

Mailers, billboards and flyers have given way to digital ads and virtual marketing campaigns. The vast majority of company exposure happens online today. In fact, a digital marketing strategy is nearly essential for your company’s success. Pay close attention to the data and metrics from past digital marketing efforts and use this information to direct this year’s endeavors with greater precision. 

As well, it’s a good idea to consider new and yet unused digital marketing strategies. This way, you can expand your brand’s exposure, appeal to new customers in your target demographics and even increase your revenue through currently untapped user groups that may be filled with potential customers.

4. Upgraded Customer Experience

Customer service is, arguably, one of the most important components of a successful business. Your customers’ business is crucial to the viability of your company, and their experience when interacting with your company will dictate whether they continue to support what you’re doing. Consider all aspects of the customer experience and look for ways to make it easier and more enjoyable for them to connect with you, from an upgraded chat function on your website to improved product descriptions. 

5. Increased Social Media Literacy

It’s entirely possible to run a successful business without a social media presence, but these platforms can do a lot to increase your reach and grow your organization when used to their potential. Social media provides a free or low-cost way for you to reach customers, announce product launches, advertise new goods and services, feature behind-the-scenes looks at your operations and perpetuate your brand identity through carefully curated and designed posts.

Keep in mind that not every platform is right for every business. In fact, some businesses may find that some social media platforms aren’t useful for their company and its goals. Each platform has its own benefits and drawbacks, and each has different ideas, values, features and norms. For these reasons, it’s important to increase your understanding and literacy of each site and utilize these digital spaces with a clear idea of the unique culture and expectations that exist for each of them.

6. Re-examination of Your Purpose

A new year is as good a time as any to take another look at why you got started in the first place and recommit to the values and tenets that drove you to set up shop. The more closely aligned you are to the heart and soul of your business, the more authentic and accessible your efforts will be to your customers.
