New Year, New Marketing Strategy: Lock in Your Early Adopter Price | Inkie

30 December 2025 Close-up view of a 2026 spiral-bound desk calendar showing February and March.

Here we are, standing at the edge of a new year. You're probably making lists, setting intentions, and wondering how you're going to keep all those business plates spinning in 2026. Let me save you some time and money with something you actually need to know.

In January 2026, Inkie's monthly price is increasing from £39 to £49.

But if you sign up now, you lock in the £39 price forever. Not just for a few months. Not as an introductory offer that expires. Forever.

<h2>Why the Price Increase?</h2>

I'm not going to dress this up or make excuses. Inkie has grown significantly since we launched. We've added features, improved the AI agents, enhanced the scheduling capabilities, and provided more sophisticated content creation. The platform does more now than it did when we first set that £39 price point.

More importantly, the value Inkie delivers has proven itself. Businesses are saving hours every week, maintaining consistent marketing presence, and actually enjoying the process instead of dreading it. That's worth more than £39 a month, and the new pricing reflects that reality.

But here's the thing, I remember what it's like to be where you might be right now. I remember scraping together every penny to keep my business running. I remember the overwhelm of trying to do everything myself because I couldn't afford agency fees. That's exactly why I built Inkie in the first place.

So if you sign up now, before the price increases, you're locking in that early adopter price. You believed in what we were building early on, or you're willing to take that step now, and I want to honour that.

<h2>The Dual Benefit: Save Money AND Save Time</h2>

Let's talk about what you're actually getting when you sign up for Inkie at £39 a month, locked in forever.

The money side is straightforward. You're saving £10 every single month compared to the new pricing. That's £120 a year. For a small business, that's not nothing. That's a month of software subscriptions, or a chunk of your website hosting, or a few hours of professional help you couldn't otherwise afford.

But honestly, the time saving is where the real value lives.

Think about how much time you currently spend on marketing. Coming up with content ideas. Finding images. Writing captions. Scheduling posts. Remembering to actually post them. Planning ahead for events or sales. Keeping your blog updated. Making sure you're visible on the platforms where your customers actually are.

If you're doing all that manually, you're spending hours every week. Hours you could be using to actually run your business, serve your customers, or develop your products. Hours you could be spending with your family, or just not working for once.

Inkie handles all of it. The content creation, the image sourcing, the scheduling, the posting. You tell us about your business once, and we generate months of marketing content that actually sounds like you, speaks to your ideal customers, and keeps you consistently visible.

<h2>Perfect Timing for New Year Planning</h2>

There's something about the turn of a new year that makes us want to get organised, start fresh, and actually stick to the plans we make. If you're anything like me, you've got a list of things you want to improve in your business in 2026.

Getting your marketing sorted should be at the top of that list. Not because marketing is the most important thing you do, it's not. But because when your marketing is handled, everything else becomes easier.

You're not scrambling to post something, anything, just to stay visible. You're not feeling guilty about the blog you haven't updated in three months. You're not wondering whether you should be on TikTok or Instagram or LinkedIn or all of them, and how you'd possibly manage that.

You know your marketing is handled. It's consistent, it's professional, it sounds like you, and it's working in the background while you focus on what you actually love doing.

Starting 2026 with that sorted? That's a gift to yourself and your business.

<h2>What You Get with Inkie Marketing Platform Monthly</h2>

Let me be specific about what you're getting for £39 a month, because I don't want you thinking this is some basic scheduling tool with a bit of AI tacked on.

Inkie creates and schedules blogs, social posts, images, and emails, all tailored to your specific brand and audience. The AI agents understand your tone of voice, your ideal customer's pain points, your business goals, and the genuine value you offer.

You get royalty-free images sourced and matched to your content. You get a simple dashboard where you can see everything planned, scheduled, and posted. You get ongoing content support that adapts as your business evolves.

The onboarding is friendly and thorough. You tell Inkie about your business once, properly, and you can update any time things change. There's no complicated learning curve, no manual you need to study, no technical skills required.

And you get a 14-day free trial to make sure it's right for you before you pay anything. This isn't a leap of faith, it's a proper test drive.

<h2>The Reality of DIY Marketing</h2>

I'm going to be blunt here, because that's what I do. You didn't start your business because you love marketing. You started it because you're good at something, you saw a need you could fill, you wanted to help people or create something meaningful.

The marketing is just the way you let people know you exist. It's necessary, but it's probably not why you get out of bed in the morning.

And if you're doing it all manually, if marketing is taking up hours of your week and causing you stress, that's time and energy you're not putting into the parts of your business you actually care about.

I see this all the time. Business owners who are brilliant at what they do, who genuinely help their customers, who deserve to be successful, but who struggle with marketing because it's overwhelming, time-consuming, and honestly a bit baffling.

You don't need to become a marketing expert. You need your marketing handled so you can be the expert at what you actually do.

<h2>Automation Saves More Than Christmas</h2>

This month we've been talking about how automation saves Christmas, how it lets you actually take time off during the busiest season without your marketing going silent. But automation saves more than Christmas.

It saves your Mondays when you're swamped with customer enquiries. It saves your evenings when you're exhausted and the last thing you want to do is write a social post. It saves your weekends when you should be resting, not working.

It saves all those moments when you know you should be marketing but you just can't face it right now. When the blank page feels impossible. When you can't think of anything interesting to say. When you're just so tired of trying to do everything yourself.

Automation means your marketing happens consistently whether you're having a brilliant week or a terrible one. Whether you're busy or quiet. Whether you feel inspired or completely burned out.

That consistency is what builds trust with your audience. That reliability is what turns observers into followers, and followers into customers.

<h2>What You Should Do Right Now</h2>

If you've been thinking about Inkie, if you've been wondering whether it's right for your business, now is the time to find out. Start your free 14-day trial before the end of December, and you'll lock in the £39 monthly price forever.

You'll start 2026 with your marketing automated, your content planned and scheduled, and your time freed up to focus on what actually matters in your business.

And you'll save £120 a year compared to the new pricing, every single year.

I'm not going to pressure you with fake urgency or manufactured scarcity. The price increase is happening because the platform has grown and the value it delivers has proven itself. That's the honest truth.

But if you sign up now, you benefit from the original pricing forever. That's also the honest truth.

So if you're tired of DIY marketing taking all your time, if you want 2026 to be the year you finally get this sorted, if you'd rather spend your energy on your actual business instead of trying to keep up with social media, give Inkie a try.

Fourteen days, free trial, no tricks. See if it works for you. And if it does, you've locked in the early adopter price and sorted your marketing for good.

That's a pretty good way to start a new year.
