Podcast Services Provide Give Your Brand a Voice
Technology is becoming more affordable, and podcasts are becoming more accessible. They’re also convenient to listen to, making them widely popular amongst a busy audience.
A study showed that in 2006, only 22% of American adults knew what a podcast was. But by 2021, 78% of American adults were familiar with podcasts. It was estimated that there were about 120 million US podcast listeners in the last year alone.
This upwards trend is likely to continue. American podcast listeners are expected to grow by 20 million people each year for the next two years.
This is evidence that using podcasts to spread fresh and interesting information showcases your brand’s capacity for thought-leadership, which develops its credibility and trust.
Podcasts grow your audience and expand your current digital marketing campaign. They’re also incredibly useful, as most of their content can be adapted into your wider inbound marketing plan.
They’re a fresh and engaging way to share business information and ideas. When they’re engaging, they can be used to encourage subscriptions, and even pave the way to forming new and exciting business partnerships.
The best inbound marketing services will use podcasts to tell a story. This connects your brand to its listeners in a way that seems personal. This long-form marketing method can also be split into weekly episodes, keeping listeners engaged and involved.
Despite all the benefits of incorporating podcasts into your marketing strategy, only 3% of marketers use them. This means that there’s a gap in the market. People want new and exciting information.
How Podcast Services Build
Your Brand
audience. Podcasts feel personal. This is what makes them so effective.
The roles of podcasts in marketing are to:
Develop Brand Awareness
Podcasts will encourage listeners to visit your website, meaning more people will engage with your content.
Distribute Your Content Effectively
At Goodman Lantern, putting the podcast together is only a part of the process. Our team works together to distribute the podcast through all the right channels so that your content reaches the right audience, increasing the likelihood of creating qualified leads that convert into paying customers.
Promote Client Expansion and Retention
Excellent inbound marketing services will do thorough research and data collection when putting together your podcast. They’ll choose a topic, theme, and tone that taps into current trends and informs your audience by giving them the kind of information they want.
Good content not only creates new leads but also retains your existing customer base.
Increase Digital Streams of Revenue
Podcasts aim to boost subscriptions, downloads, and endorsements. They can also increase engagement when connected strategically to your other digital platforms, leading to follow-ups and follow-throughs using chat boxes, direct messages and your brand’s social media pages.
What is an Inbound Marketing Agency?
Podcasts tell a story. This makes them human and relatable. When segmented into episodes, they also retain engagement and drive interest for a more extended period.
By covering topics that resonate with your customers, podcasts promote thought-leadership, strengthening your brand’s credibility. Interesting topics captivate your audience and create opportunities for your business to grow.
By hiring inbound marketing services, your business can deliver content through the strategic use of podcasts. These can be used to strengthen your overall marketing campaigns.
Podcasts also strengthen your SEO, making your brand more discoverable. By adding a transcript to each podcast, you’ll have the opportunity to provide more keywords, which can drive more traffic to your website. Using titles and descriptions is another way to use podcasts to optimise your website and boost your product’s visibility.
Also, listeners are persuaded by what they hear. A recent survey is evidence of this. 63% of podcast listeners bought the related product after listening to just one show.
An inbound marketing company will use the podcast to target your audience well. Since podcasts are so versatile, they segment your information into niche topics, and then delve into those specific topics in-depth.
Podcasts are easy to find. They can be uploaded and accessed through many mainstream media platforms, like iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play. It stands to reason that stories create a deeper brand connection to your audience overall.
