To be honest, I think that good resolutions are made not to be kept. But, for once, if I had to recommend one and only one, the one that should set the pace for your thoughts and actions for the years to come, that should completely dictate each of your decisions, here it is: stop thinking about your marketing in one-shot campaigns, think purely and simply about customer relations . Two words that you can make a poster of!

We ourselves, on the blog, often give you advice on how to set up actions for sales , Valentine's Day, etc. However, these one-off steps should not be the basis of your marketing strategy. Because basically, doing operations for the sake of doing operations does not create a solid and lasting connection with your customer. Whereas if shopify website design you think community, base, pool of fans, prospects and customers , and you simply ask yourself how to make this live and grow throughout the year, you will have a good chance of obtaining much better results.
