The beginning of a new year brings the opportunity to make a big difference in your business’s digital marketing strategy.
Creating resolutions for success in digital marketing in 2025 is the perfect way to help you stick to your goals, enhance your engagement and boost your revenue.
Here are the five most important digital marketing resolutions you need to follow in 2025 to make your marketing efforts a success.
Resolution 1: Prioritize First-Party Data
With stringent privacy laws, such as GDPR, using third-party data is becoming more difficult for digital marketers. You must allow your audience to reject cookies and need to be careful about following the rules for asking for customer data.
As such, it’s harder to get a big-picture view of consumer behavior through third-party data. And with personalization fast becoming the industry norm in marketing, and accounting for 40% more revenue than non-personalized strategies, you need accurate data to ensure your strategy works effectively.
First-party data allows you to monitor the activity on your own channels to better understand the buyer's journey for your products and services, as well as monitor the success and efficacy of your marketing campaigns.
You can track first-party data on your website by:
- Implementing Advanced User Behavior Tracking: You can implement advanced user behavior tracking by monitoring specific user interactions, such as button clicks, form submissions, and video plays, to gain deeper insights into user engagement. Additionally, using heatmaps and session recordings can provide visual representations of user interactions, helping you identify areas of interest and potential obstacles in the user journey.
- Leverage UTM Parameters for Precise Source Attribution: Leverage UTM parameters for precise source attribution by applying them to URLs in your marketing efforts to accurately track the performance of individual campaigns, channels, or content pieces. Regularly reviewing UTM data will help you assess which marketing strategies drive the most valuable traffic, enabling data-driven decisions for future campaigns.
- Conduct A/B Testing with Enhanced Segmentation: Conduct A/B testing with enhanced segmentation by performing experiments on different audience groups to determine which variations resonate best with specific user segments. Use the insights gained to continuously refine your content, design, and user experience, ultimately improving overall engagement and conversion rates.
Resolution 2: Experiment with AI tools
AI is in a boom period of evolution, and we’re still nowhere close to unlocking its full potential. Start experimenting with it now and you’ll give yourself a healthy advantage against your competitors.
Using AI in your digital marketing strategy will help you save time on admin tasks by outsourcing simple tasks like automated emails, segmenting your audience and streamlining your workflows.
AI is also a powerful data analysis tool. You can easily analyze your consumer behavior data, including clicks and engagement, to spot patterns so you can easily anticipate your consumer’s needs. It can also help you with AB testing, allowing you to improve your marketing campaign efforts.
Personalization benefits greatly from AI, too. Based on your data analytics, AI can help you create customized experiences for consumers. It can recommend bespoke product recommendations for customers on your website. It can trigger pop-up messages on your site, or push notifications for your app to encourage certain behaviors like signing up, getting discounts, or checking out a different product they might like.
Finally, AI chatbots are a great way to ensure 24/7 help for customers without a strain on your workforce. You can teach the AI your policies so it can answer FAQs and know when to escalate the query to a real person. Instant access to help makes potential buyers feel more confident in your brand.
Resolution 3: Enhance Omnichannel Strategies
Your customers can find you from anywhere around the internet, so it's important to focus on how your customers make that journey.
Each platform requires a slightly different strategy to increase engagement, so it’s important to understand how that looks for your brand. You can do this by experimenting with the content you post and seeing which gets the most engagement, and more importantly, which brings you the most traffic.
Use UTM links and track your social media data to get a better idea of what resonates with your audience so you can ensure you’re maximizing your content on each platform.
And of course, repurpose your content across channels to make your content creation efforts more efficient.
Resolution 4: Embrace Video Marketing
Video content represents 33% of all internet usage. So if you want eyes on your brand, videos are a great way to be seen.
In particular, short-form content continues to grow in popularity. Hubspot found that 37% of consumers preferred watching short-form videos to discover new products, making it the most popular video format. Short-form videos are easy to share and quick to watch, so make sure you’re creating impactful, eye-catching videos and reels that resonate with your target audience.
Similarly, live streaming is also highly popular. It allows your audience a more intimate, behind-the-scenes look at your brand and makes them feel included. This video format is all about developing a relationship with your audience and building brand trust.
Experiment with these video formats and encourage feedback from your viewers so you can continue to improve your content.
Resolution 5: Commit to Continuous Learning
With trends and data constantly evolving, success in digital marketing in 2025 relies heavily on continuously improving your knowledge and skill set.
Use online certified courses to stay up-to-date on AI advancements and important marketing strategies like SEO and personalization.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with your software and continue to explore the full potential of your tech stack. The more you learn to do, the more powerful your software becomes, making your marketing strategies better.
