You’ll want to sit down and come up with a strategy that will help you to make a difference before the year is out. You strategy should address the three P’s of marketing: price, place then promotion.
Engagement
Next, you could focus on improving your engagement levels. Do you want to better connect with your customers? Build brand value? Or grow customer loyalty?

Consider mapping out a strategy that touches upon public relations, marketing and paid advertising.

Data
