There Are Less Than 100 Days Left In 2023

Don't wait until December to plan for 2024

There are 98 days until 2024, counting today.

There are even fewer than 98 working days left if we don't count weekends and holidays.

Between now and then, we've got Thanksgiving (59 days away), the first night of Hannukah (73 days away), and Christmas Eve/Morning (91 days away).

This means it's time to do some serious planning for 2024.

If all those numbers are filling you with anxiety, don’t worry. I've created?a 9-point year-end marketing action plan for small businesses that will set you up for success in 2024. Just don’t wait until December (or January) to start.

Here are three things you can do?right now?to set yourself up for a successful 2024:

1. Get Organized.?Set Clear Business Goals for 2024…now. Organization and clear goals lay the groundwork for a successful year in business. Write down your goals for 2024, and you'll have a head start on developing your plan of attack.
2. Get a Head Start On New Products and Services:?Start looking for ways to increase website conversion by creating landing pages for your new products or services so they're ready when you launch them next year. Preparing in advance of launches will maximize their impact.
3. Don't wait until December.?The holidays come at the same time every year. Schedule emails, set up discount promo codes, order those corporate gifts, and get your holiday cards ready now.?

If you want to succeed in 2024, you need to start thinking about it months ahead. Hit the ground running in the new year with an action plan.

Need help figuring out how to get started? Let me?help you make the rest of 2023 the most productive stretch of business you've had all year.?Schedule an IdeaStorm session?(AKA Pick My Brain) and get tons of ideas and strategies you can act on immediately to grow your business.
