Planning Ahead: Setting Your Marketing Goals for the New Year

As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your marketing efforts over the past 12 months. What worked? What didn’t? What lessons can you take into the new year? By evaluating your strategies and setting clear goals, you can position your business for success in 2025.

At Guerrilla Group, we’re dedicated to helping businesses like yours achieve measurable results through intentional, data-driven marketing. Here’s how you can start planning ahead and make 2025 your best year yet.

Step 1: Reflect on the Past Year

Before you look forward, it’s essential to look back. Use these questions to guide your evaluation:

1. Did You Meet Your Goals?

Review the objectives you set for 2024. Did you achieve them? If not, identify the roadblocks and areas for improvement.

2. What Performed Well?

Analyze your campaigns, social media engagement, email performance, and website metrics. What resonated with your audience? Which strategies delivered the best ROI?

3. Where Did You Fall Short?

Not every strategy hits the mark. Understanding why certain efforts didn’t succeed is key to avoiding similar pitfalls in the future.

Step 2: Define Clear Goals for 2025

Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals ensures your marketing efforts are focused and effective. Consider goals like:

• Increasing website traffic by 20%.

• Growing your email subscriber list by 15%.

• Launching a new product or service with a robust marketing campaign.

• Improving customer retention rates by 10%.
