10 New Year resolutions for better business in 2013

It's hard to believe that the silly season has come and gone and the New Year is upon us.

Seeing it's the season for New Year resolutions, we thought we'd get in on the fun and suggest some to help better your business in 2013.

1. Update your website

Whether it's a fresh new look, improved functionality or an SEO overhaul, updating your website will help give your business a boost.

2. Be consistent with content

Give your clients new content through blogs, whitepapers, and social media pages consistently throughout the year to keep you at the front of their mind.

3. Plan promotions

Aim to create promotions that really add value and give back to your loyal clients.

4. Recognise staff efforts

We're often quick to jump on the mistakes staff make but neglect to notice when they're consistently doing a good job. Recognise your staff's hard work and they'll be more likely to keep it up.

5. Strategise your social

Focus your social media efforts by creating a strategy that adds value rather than just noise.

6. Make it mobile

With more and more people searching and shopping on mobiles, look into whether a mobile site or application can help boost your business.

7. Get organised

Sort out your business cards, stationery and letterheads so you have a consistent brand image in place for 2013.

8. Invest in training staff

Update your training materials to reflect any new practices employed in 2012 and organise to send your staff to training days and forums well in advance.

9. Try something new
