We’re already more than a month into 2023, and it’s safe to say we’re the closest we’ve been to normal since pre-pandemic times.
At the same time, we’re still having to deal with challenges and unprecedented scenarios such as rising inflation and ongoing global conflicts.
No matter what comes forward, staying focused on your strategies will help you keep your business on the right track to success.
As such, here are a few marketing resolutions that could help fuel your reseller hosting business engine throughout 2023 and beyond.
SEOptimize your store
SEO is an integral part of a winning marketing strategy, and, as such, it requires dedication and consistent efforts from your side.
Improving your website’s SEO requires you to help search engines understand your message and match this to the search queries of your visitors.
So, it’s critical that you’re clear about your primary keywords and have fully optimized your site for these search terms.
Take time to improve your site’s individual URLs and optimize metadata in line with your keywords.
Make sure you work on quality backlinking from authority sites in the industry, etc.
And don’t forget to ensure that your store is responsive and quick to load for a maximum customer experience.
Create quality content
Relevance is key to performing well in search engine rankings; to achieve that, you need to focus on producing helpful, quality content.
Stop obsessing over high-ranking keywords alone; instead, try to focus on original and helpful content that is relevant to your audience’s needs.
Your website copy, blog, or promo content should create a genuine human connection and build trust, not just be written for the search engines alone.
Take the time to improve your content’s readability and scanability to make it even more reader-friendly.
Get your value proposition across to prospects
The era of traditional advertising is almost long gone, considering the wealth of communication opportunities offered online.
The web today offers a cosy medium for brands and brand advocates to tell stories about the benefits of using a particular product or service.
Just think about this for a moment; what would motivate you more – a shiny but uninspiring ad message or a meaningful piece of content you could relate to the benefits of a brand?
Would a customer be more impressed by a hosting package’s bells and whistles (space, traffic, features) or by knowing that you provide excellent support and service uptime?
Run integrated marketing campaigns
If you manage multiple marketing channels, it’s important to recognize that they’re all major gears as part of a well-oiled marketing system.
What works in an email may not work on Twitter, and what works on Twitter is not likely to work on Facebook.
Thus, you should keep all gears together for the system to yield the most effective marketing results.
It’s also good to consider how each of your channels could supplement each other – where you can cross-promote, and where you might be overlapping content.
Experiment with new strategies
Marketing is a mix of various disciplines, such as psychology, communications, and design.
The way you combine the different elements of your marketing bundle is crucial for the success of your campaigns.
To be sure that your strategy works well, you should consider segmentation testing.
For instance, you could use A/B testing or work with just a small segment of your audience to gain feedback, analyze data, and make tweaks before launching your campaign to the public.
Maintain a fresh digital media presence
You need to take good care of your digital media presence by generating regular fresh content via your blog, social media, and any other channels you use.
Social media is almost overflowing with exciting new trends and viral events that could help make your brand more relatable if used correctly and on time.
Consider chiming into a trendy hashtag discussion to grab your moment in the spotlight.
Aside from boosting your brand’s visibility, this simple step may also bring you more new followers overall.
Social media is also perfect for increasing audience engagement, so make sure you schedule your posts at the most appropriate time for your following.
Moreover, you should try to check your blog and social media performance daily via tools such as Google Analytics and the social metrics you use.
Basic metrics, such as page views, new users, traffic sources, post engagement, etc., can help you decide on the most informed adjustments to your strategies.
Keep an eye on the latest digital marketing trends
The digital marketing landscape is changing quickly; as such, keeping up with new trends, platforms, algorithms, and regulations is a must.
Try to dedicate at least 30 minutes a week to industry research by reading newsletters, listening to podcasts, and checking the main blogs you follow.
Keeping on top of the trend will help you stay ahead of competitors in all aspects to gain more prospects.
Make use of paid media opportunities
Being successful in business often means taking a healthy dose of risk.
Countless entrepreneurs have gone outside of their comfort zone to reach where they are now.
The extent to which you’re ready (and able) to take risks defines the potential extent of your gains.
A good starting point here is investing in paid media.
With paid media channels, such as sponsored social media posts, paid search results, display and video ads, etc., you could instantly extend your brand awareness to a new audience.
You should also keep in mind here that measuring performance is key to your success with paid media, too.
Using cost and click metrics such as CPC, CPM, CTR, and CPA could help you make more informed decisions about your ad campaigns and budget.

Marketing is evolving every day, from the platforms we use to the strategies we adopt.
So, keeping up with the flow can definitely seem overwhelming!
Just stay focused on your strategies; take time to engage with your prospects and maintain a steady gain.
It’s an ongoing effort, but it’s one that can give you many chances to improve with each step of your reseller hosting journey.
