It's a new year, and a great time to check yo - self.
In other (more sensible words), it's an excellent time to go through your current marketing assets to ensure everything is in tip top shape (and looking fresh) - here are out top 3 tips!
First up? Google!

Review your marketing budget and ROI
Are you spending money on letterbox drops rather than digital advertising or another more effective method?

If you are a believer and lover of print media, don't let us deter you - there's still a time and place, but we'd love to encourage you to think outside the box here and try and offer something different to the standard DL. What about a cool postcard? For example, jump on COMMON and find a nice stock image and send a postcard to say hey!
