Before you know it you’ll be clinking champagne glasses (or tucked blissfully into your bed) celebrating the new decade upon us. 2020 is just around the corner and we are excited to make a splash with both our business and personal agendas come January. That’s why today we wanted to jot down some of our top ideas for ways online retailers can prep for their 2020. 

Let’s get down to it:

1. Get Your Finances In Order

Leaving this behind in 2019 will help make it so you’re not as frazzled about it going into the new year. Pay your Q4 taxes, adjust line items as needed and figure out where you want to be spending (and cutting back) come the new year.

2. Review Your Online Presence

Review your social media bios, make sure Yelp and Etsy reviews are responded to and make sure that you’re putting your best proverbial foot forward when people come across your page in 2020.

3. Create an Email Campaign

Many businesses choose to send out a new year email campaign and having one ready to roll-out will mean less work for future you! Schedule the sequence in your chosen email software and enjoy the holidays.

4. Create a Content Schedule

And speaking of that email campaign, take the time to sit down and craft a content schedule for at least Q1 of your upcoming year. What themes do you want to create a story around? What specials would you like to run? Holidays you want to make sure you acknowledge?

5. Turn On Your Autoresponder

Actually take time off! Turn on that email autoresponder and take off for the holiday. You deserve it.
