Three Marketing Habits Marketers Want You to Leave Behind
Marketing in 2025 isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing better. That starts with leaving some outdated habits behind. Sure, we all fall into routines, but if your marketing efforts feel like they’re spinning in place instead of moving forward, it’s time to reassess.
Here are three things marketers everywhere want you to “stop” doing this year.
Relying on an Outdated Website
Your website isn’t a “set it and forget it” tool. If it’s looking a little 2010, runs slower than a Monday morning, or isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re leaving traffic—and trust—on the table. An outdated website not only fails to attract visitors, but it can also actively turn them away.
What to do instead: Think of your website as your brand’s digital home. Keep it clean, modern, and optimized with fresh content and user-friendly design. Oh, and make sure search engines actually want to visit by investing in SEO.
Skipping Social Media Schedules
Your social media presence doesn’t thrive on random bursts of activity. Forgetting to post regularly or letting your accounts collect dust is like throwing a party and forgetting to send invites. Social media is your chance to show up consistently and connect with your audience—don’t ghost them!
What to do instead: Create a content calendar that balances engagement and value. Whether it’s daily stories or weekly posts, consistency helps you stay top-of-mind while building a loyal community.
Guessing Instead of Measuring
“Let’s see if this works” isn’t a strategy—it’s a gamble. If you’re not tracking what’s working, you spend time and money without knowing what’s paying off. Data is your best friend, not an afterthought.
What to do instead: Use analytics to track performance, from website traffic to social media engagement. Insights help you refine your approach and double down on what works, turning guesswork into results.
Leaving these habits behind doesn’t just free up your time—it clears the way for growth.
