Preparing Your Digital Marketing Strategy for 2023

A crucial part of designing your digital marketing strategy for 2023 is to review and analyze your performance in 2022. First, take a look at your goals and whether you met them. For example, a niche retail business with an eCommerce store that introduced new products in 2022 should review how well those products sold. Other goals or measurements you should look for when reviewing 2022 include the following:

• Did your digital marketing generate revenue?
• How many leads did each tactic generate, and what was the quality of those leads?
• How much web traffic did each tactic generate?
• Which social media posts, emails, blogs, pages, etc., were most engaging to users?
• What was your ROI on each tactic?

As you prepare your strategy for 2023, your competitors are likely doing the same. And because it is essential to stay up-to-date on what your competition is doing, the end of the year is a great time to analyze your competitors. During the analysis, keep an eye out for:

• Are competitors using surprising tactics to gain your target buyer’s attention and engagement?
• Identify gaps or areas where your business is falling short of the competition, which you can make a greater focus on in 2023.
• Are the competitors leaving opportunities for you to exploit?

After thoroughly reviewing your performance over the past year, the next step in creating your digital marketing strategy for 2023 is to set new goals. It helps to think of the different funnel levels for goal setting. Some examples include:

When coming up with your new goals, remember this acronym: S.M.A.R.T.

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Time-bound

Goals with these guidelines help you focus your efforts and, as you develop your strategy, let you know what steps or objectives you need to take to meet them.
