End of the Financial Year Survival Kit for Australian Marketers

It’s almost that time of year again! The end of the financial year in Australia is coming up soon, and we are ready to prepare you to use it to your advantage. So, how did your team perform this financial year? Did you reach your goals? Last year we shared tips on how to use your end of the financial year budget to win clients and show customer appreciation.

At Red Tomato, we do as we say, and got great results on our very own “Christmas in July” campaign. This year, we are sharing with you some end of the financial year marketing tools to help you reach your goals.

We are going to walk you through and give you the tools you need to end the financial year on a strong note and reach your sales and EOFY marketing goals.

Here are the five most important steps and tools in our end of the financial year marketing tool kit:

1. Reconcile your goals from this past year

What did you aim to accomplish? Where are you now and what do you want to achieve further ahead? Setting goals is vital to accomplishing your team’s key results; and reviewing your progress is just as important. Use our worksheet to define where you are at now and to help you set up goals for the upcoming year.
