Written by: Lia Categories - Embrace The New Year With These Three Tips For A Better You (And a Better Brand) In 2017
The excitement of the New Year is everywhere for the first few days of January, but have you ever noticed how it sort of… fades? There’s a ton of energy for that first week back, but by the time Friday rolls around, the goals, objectives, and resolutions start feeling a little overwhelming. Believe us when we say that it’s no different at a web marketing company. It’s totally normal, though! The festive season is behind you, and you start having to think about what the year will bring. It gets to you! Don’t worry, though—it’s just the winter blues. Focusing on The Good Stuff™ keeps your momentum going in the bleary winter months. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, then here are 3 common resolutions that don’t just beat the winter blues… they help your web marketing, too:
Get Mobile, Keep Moving
Update Your Look
When you look good, you feel good. “Update your style” and “embrace a new you” are common resolutions that do wonders for self-confidence. And, you guessed it, updating your website and brand’s look can do wonders for it, too. In case you missed it, we’ve mentioned how sites optimized for mobile use are going to win big in the new year. We’re not just talking keywords and content (though those are important); visually, having a site that adapts and responds across all devices will go a long way. There are a few other things you might want to consider when it comes to updating your look:
- Does your site’s architecture and layout offer an excellent user experience?
- Are you embracing video marketing as it grows on the web?
- Are you cramming too much stuff into your site?
- Is your content broken up with bigger, bolder headlines, simplified icons, and consistent colours?
Keep these design tips in mind for your brand in 2017!

Your business and brand will benefit from making new friends, too. Recent analysis states that more than 80% of companies are planning to start a social ad campaign in the next year. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are all thriving social media platforms with huge advertising opportunities. They’re also a great way to make friends and grow a following! When it comes to branding, focus more on compelling, authentic content in the New Year. Nothing compares to original content that engages with the world around it!
