5 Important Questions For Your Small Business's Year-End Review

As 2025 comes to an end, we want all you SOBs (small owned businesses) to feel prepared and ready for the new year. Taking the time to review your marketing in 2025 is a great way to start 2026 off right.



This week on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing 5 questions small businesses should be asking themselves during their year end review. We want to equip our listeners with actionable insights so you can prioritize and prepare your marketing strategies for 2026.



 



Marketing HOT TAKE of the week: Reviewing your marketing initiatives is as important as (if not more important) preparing for your next steps. Reflection is what helps you make educated decisions. Agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments!
