Are Podcasts Right For Your Marketing Strategy?

Podcasts continue to gain popularity in the marketing world. It seems like everyone and anyone is posting their own series of recordings. It can be difficult to know if podcasts is right for your marketing strategy. Why invest the time and effort if you won’t achieve the results you are looking for? But could you be missing out on valuable opportunities by not trying them out?

Below we explore some of the pros and cons of incorporating podcasts into your existing marketing strategy:

 

Pros

  • Podcasts allow you to provide relevant content to your audience in an interesting way. Rather than simply reading an article or how-to guide, your customers can be fully-engage with your brand through your spoken word.
  • Many consumers believe podcasts offer a personal approach to marketing. They can help you forge stronger bonds with your audience and add a distinct touch to your brand.
  • Podcasts can strengthen the level of trustworthiness and authenticity of your brand. People develop a deeper connection with this type of medium over others.

 

Cons

  • Video can be a more difficult medium to keep people engaged over traditional written content. It can’t be scanned or browsed so keeping other’s attention can be hard to do.
  • Depending on your target customer not all businesses are suited for podcasts. For example, those who serve an aging community may find that their audience simply won’t embrace this type of technology.
  • Podcasts can take a large amount of time to do right. Creating and editing podcasts can be taxing on the schedule. It takes a lot of energy to plan, design and implement each piece.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
