Don’t wait until the new year to change your communications strategy

We are already half way through 2017 — can you believe it? We’re betting those New Year’s resolutions are feeling a long way off.

But what about your goals for your business?

Just like the daily trips to the gym you promised yourself would happen, goals for your business’s health should never be put on the back burner. We know even the best laid plans can get lost in the shuffle, and it can be discouraging not to see the results you want — but if your communications strategy is not working, change it.

Try these tips to turn around lagging results.Ben Franklin

Get a fresh perspective. If you don’t love the results from a campaign, try looking at your strategy with a new set of eyes. Pull some members of your team onto the project, and see if they have suggestions. Call up a mentor and ask her if she has had that experience before. Other people might offer up ideas you haven’t thought of before.

Draw from success. You’ve had success before. Why is this different? Are there aspects of strategies you used before that you could pull in to make this campaign more successful? Carefully look over past data or analyze past experiences and see if you can draw new conclusions.

Take inspiration from your inspirations. Most business leaders have a list of companies they admire. Check in on yours. Look over their content, including blogs, newsletters and social media. What are they doing to communicate that you like? Incorporate some of the same strategies in your own efforts.
