It’s the end of the year, it’s cold and dark outside, and it’s tempting to slow down a little before the festive out of office season kicks in.
For many that means stepping away for a well-earned break, but the turn of the year is an ideal time to take stock and review your digital marketing strategy for 2024 and beyond.
With potential for the economy to throw up some extra challenges in the next 12 months, it’s even more important to get ahead of the competition and make sure you’re ready to go.
We don’t begrudge anyone taking the time to relax. But imagine being more productive in the days and weeks either side of Christmas and New Year. Imagine, shaping your strategy for the next 12 months while the competition is slowing down.
It can happen and that’s why planning and refocusing your marketing efforts in December and January can make such a big difference.
Digital performance
We all know that a strong digital presence is crucial for most businesses and organisations to be successful. And in a rapidly changing digital world that is increasingly vital.
If you’re not keeping up to date with technological advances and trends you can be sure your competition is.
Just having a website – even a good-looking one – is not enough, and it’s sensible to regularly review digital performance and ask whether your existing site is serving you as well as it should be.
There are multiple factors to consider and not all of them are easy to identify. That is why it is worth considering a website audit to review everything from image use to regulatory compliance.
That doesn’t need to be scary. NB’s expert team is armed with an arsenal of tools and knowledge to thoroughly audit and analyse site performance and make recommendations for improving it.

Digital strategy
Once you have a well-performing website, it’s always worth reviewing your digital strategy to ensure you are making the most of the opportunities that presents.
There are always improvements that can be made, and it’s worth remembering that as your organisation grows and adapts so too should the digital strategy.
Of course, every organisation is different but no matter what sector or field you operate in, there is much to consider. What’s the point in having ultra-fast page load speeds if nobody visits them? Why attract masses of visitors if none of them act in the way that benefits your organisation?
Over many years we have developed an effective approach so we can explore and refine your objectives and identify the right web development and online marketing strategy to help you be successful.
