- By starting a podcast and releasing episodes on a consistent schedule, you can:
- Stay at the top of your customers’ minds
- Stand out from your competition
- Build a level of brand loyalty that deepens over time.
Podcasts Are Personal.
- Podcasting is an intimate medium.
- By speaking directly to your customers, you’re communicating with them in a powerful and personal way.
- In contrast to traditional marketing channels, which are often carefully curated, podcasts tend to be more casual and unfiltered.
- The voice you lend to your podcast adds a human element to your business and will give listeners a sense of the personality behind your brand.
Podcasts Build Authority.
- Your podcast is a platform to speak about your industry, highlighting the unique knowledge and passion you bring to your business.
- Start a podcast about a topic you know a lot about, and you will begin to establish yourself as an expert in your field and attract new customers.
Podcasts Dig Deeper.
- The majority of marketing channels provide an influx of information in which brands compete by offering short forms of content.
- Podcasts, on the other hand, provide an opportunity to present longer-form content that conveys a deeper message.
- Podcasts are a chance to showcase your expertise and dig further into the story of your brand in a way that other formats can’t accommodate.
- Podcasts aren’t constrained by character counts.
- Give listeners a behind-the-scenes look into upcoming launches or let them the intricate details of a particular product.
- Do you have a special project you're working on? Show off your business and tell your listeners the whole story. Tuning in every week to your podcast will allow your audience to enjoy the exclusive content you provide.
Podcasts Create Community.
- Most fans of podcasts are not casual fans.
- Of those who start a podcast episode, 80% listen to all or most of it.
- Podcast enthusiasts devote a lot more time listening to your voice in a podcast or watching you online than they will reading your words on a website.
- Your brand will benefit from this dedication when they turn into customers.
- Use your listeners as a source of customer feedback that you can use to improve your business. The effort you put into your community pays off as brand affinity and loyal customers.
Podcasts Grow Your Network.
- Meet whoever you want to meet.
- Your podcast grants you the equivalent to a press pass, which gives you the ability to meet virtually anyone and grow B2B relationships with influential thought leaders in your industry.
- Expand your network by interviewing influential guests.
- When the guest you have shares your show to their pages, they give your brand an advertisement, allowing you to reach and gain loyal fans from their audience.
- Your show allows you to network and build relationships with:
- Your next client or customer
- Your next referral partner
- Your next top-performing sales agent or team member
