Deep dives
Review your tools costs
One important resolution for marketers in 2024 is to review the costs of their tools. With so many new tools available, it's easy to sign up for them without considering their actual usefulness. Marketers should regularly review and unsubscribe from tools they haven't used in the past six weeks. Another strategy is to change credit cards to stop automatic renewals and identify the tools that are genuinely being used. This approach helps marketers optimize their tool expenses and make better use of their budgets.
Update and optimize content for the current year
Another key resolution is to update and optimize content for the current year. Marketers should ensure that their digital marketing content reflects the current year to avoid appearing outdated. This includes updating SEO strategies, titles, descriptions, menu items, and copyright notices. By keeping content fresh and relevant, marketers can improve their search rankings and attract more traffic. Updating content also shows a commitment to providing up-to-date and valuable information to users.
Keep track of user engagement and preferences
Marketers should keep a diary of their own engagement with social media to gain insights into user preferences. By observing their own behavior and noting what content they engage with, marketers can better understand what their target audience wants. This information can be used to create more valuable and relevant content that resonates with users. If possible, marketers can also ask others to keep track of their own engagement with the marketer's content. This strategy helps in identifying trends and preferences that can inform content creation and engagement strategies.
Invest in conversion rate optimization and user testing
Investing in conversion rate optimization (CRO) and user testing is crucial for maximizing marketing ROI. Marketers should focus on improving conversion rates on their existing traffic rather than solely investing in increasing traffic volume. By conducting user tests and collecting feedback, marketers can identify areas for improvement in their websites or apps. Testing with just five users from the target audience can help identify 85% of the problems. This iterative process allows marketers to enhance the user experience, increase efficiency, and drive more conversions without excessively increasing costs.
