Let’s Break it Down: Action Steps for Your 2025 Marketing Plan

1. Review Your 2024 Wins and Lessons
   • Take a look at what worked this year and what didn’t. This reflection is gold when it comes to shaping your 2025 strategy.
   • Action: Grab your 2025 Marketing Planner and jot down your top-performing campaigns and any lessons learned from 2024. Use this as the foundation for your new plan.
2. Set Your Goals for 2025
   • Let’s get specific here—what do you want to achieve in the year ahead? Whether it’s growing your audience, increasing sales, or launching something new, set clear, actionable goals.
   • Action: Use the goal-setting section in your planner to map out your top 3-5 goals for 2025. Be sure to include timelines and measurable outcomes so you can track progress along the way.
3. Create Your Marketing Calendar
   • I can’t stress enough how helpful a marketing calendar is! This is where you plot out key dates, launches, holidays, and campaigns so you know exactly what’s happening and when.
   • Action: Block out time to fill in your 2025 Marketing Planner with your campaign ideas and content themes for each month. Start by mapping out any big launches or promotions and build around those.
4. Develop Your Content Themes
   • A great way to stay organised and consistent is to assign monthly or quarterly content themes. These themes should tie into your business goals and resonate with your audience.
   • Action: Brainstorm content themes for each month in your planner. Think about what your audience will need throughout the year and how you can provide value in line with your goals.
5. Budget Your Marketing Spend
   • Having a clear budget for your marketing efforts is key. Whether it’s paid ads, content creation, or software tools, knowing your budget helps you plan more effectively.
   • Action: Allocate your budget within the planner, breaking it down by campaigns and activities. This way, you know exactly where your marketing dollars are going.
6. Set Regular Review Points
   • Your marketing plan is not set in stone—it should evolve as the year progresses. Set regular review points to track your progress and make adjustments as needed.
   • Action: Schedule quarterly reviews in your planner to reflect on what’s working, tweak what’s not, and keep moving toward your goals.
