6 Resources Your Business Needs to End the Year Strong

The last quar­ter of the year can be hec­tic for busi­ness. You are in the midst of hol­i­day cam­paigns, rush­ing to meet year-end goals, and try­ing to max­i­mize sales when cus­tomers are primed to buy. 

The hol­i­day sea­son offers brands a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to cap­i­tal­ize on the sale of their prod­ucts and ser­vices. But non­stop work and with no help will lead to burnout fast.

But what if your year-end approach could result in suc­cess for your busi­ness­es and peace of mind for you? It’s pos­si­ble with the right tools and a bit of planning! 

We com­piled some of our trust­ed and most used resources to help you end on a high note and keep your men­tal health in check.

2. Infinity 

There is so much going on for busi­ness in the last quar­ter of the year, orga­ni­za­tion and project man­age­ment is key. With Infin­i­ty you can eas­i­ly col­lab­o­rate with your team, clients, and con­trac­tors to store every­thing in one place and orga­nize projects the way you want. And we love how afford­able it is. 

3. Miro

Anoth­er pow­er­house tool for plan­ning and col­lab­o­ra­tion. Miro is a visu­al plat­form where you can col­lab­o­rate, strate­gize, plan, and cre­ate togeth­er. From brand strat­e­gy to con­tent plan­ning, make your end-of-the-year goals more visu­al with Miro. 

4. Loom

Time is short in the last few months of the year, so don’t waste it in unpro­duc­tive meet­ings! We’ve cut down on wast­ed time and tripled our pro­duc­tiv­i­ty with Loom. You can use it for quick tuto­ri­als, project recaps, and project col­lab­o­ra­tion. Plus, peo­ple can respond with a video with­in your videos.

5. Adobe Express

We know we talk about Adobe Express a lot, but that is because it is so valu­able for our team and our clients! It is the BEST all-in-one edi­tor that enables any­one to eas­i­ly cre­ate stun­ning con­tent. From gen­er­a­tive AI tools from Adobe Fire­fly, videos, mar­ket­ing, social con­tent, cutouts, PDF edits, and ani­ma­tions — the pos­si­bil­i­ties are endless. 

When plan­ning your con­tent, use it to cre­ate cus­tom hol­i­day tem­plates or pull from some of Adobe’s amaz­ing free templates. 

6. Jasper.AI 

Every­one is talk­ing about AI late­ly but for good rea­son! It is a game-chang­er for small busi­ness­es with lim­it­ed resources and team mem­bers. We used Jasper.AI years before Chat­G­PT came out. When writ­ing isn’t com­ing eas­i­ly or you want a sol­id place to start, Jasper.AI is a pow­er­ful tool. As you use it more, it learns your brand voice and style of writ­ing. It’s an incred­i­ble resource!
