Get your small business marketing ready for 2026

December always sneaks up faster than we expect. One moment you’re cruising along, and the next you’re juggling client work, school concerts, end-of-year deadlines… and realising you haven’t thought about your marketing for next year.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. But the good news? You don’t need a full planning day or a complicated strategy to finish the year feeling clear and prepared.

Sometimes you just need the right questions and a simple way to turn your answers into a plan you can actually follow.

That’s exactly why I’ve put together a quick, copy-and-paste AI prompt to help you create a personalised 5-step marketing action plan for 2026. It’s designed for real small-business owners: the ones doing the doing, wearing all the hats, and trying to keep things moving during the busiest time of the year.

This prompt will help you:

• Get clear on what’s working (and what’s not)

• Understand what your business really needs next year

• Prioritise the simplest, highest-impact actions

• Set yourself up with a clear direction for January

• Create small, achievable steps you can start before Christmas

No jargon. No overwhelm. Just practical clarity.

If you want to wrap up the year feeling organised — or at least less scattered — this is a great place to start.
