Business owners around the world are well aware of the importance of having a digital presence. Social-media profiles and websites are seen by many as basic needs for building brand awareness. 

With the continual popularity of podcasts, many brands have found company podcasts to be a powerful tool for marketing their products and services and build the brand’s reputation. Creating informative and entertaining content can be an inroad to expanding a customer base. 

Podcast marketing is an avenue by which businesses reach audiences (read: potential customers). Whether you are already producing a podcast and just need marketing help, or looking to build a podcast from the ground up, Resonate Recordings can help you elevate your brand’s podcasting efforts.

This blog post covers the reasons why podcast-marketing initiatives such as email newsletters and short-form social-media posts can be vital for growing your business.

How Podcast Marketing Can Help Businesses

Though it would be nice if there was a “build it, and they will come” aspect to podcasting, the truth is that marketing is the main way of building awareness of your podcast.

For that reason, consider some of the ways that podcast marketing can improve your bottom line. 

Frames a Brand within Its Industry

Podcasts can help position brands as “thought leaders” in an industry. 

A brand sharing detailed insights about the challenges and solutions within its industry can establish it as a go-to source of information. Podcast marketing can emphasize this point to audiences. 

By consistently providing valuable content, audiences may come to rely on the brand for expert advice and solutions.

Strengthens Brand Loyalty

When consumers trust a brand, they are more likely to remain loyal to it. 

Podcasts allow for regular ongoing engagement with a loyal customer base. Podcast marketing gives businesses the opportunity to maintain that connection by keeping the podcast on the customers’ minds.

Regularly releasing episodes allows businesses to keep their brand top-of-mind, especially when the content is designed around your customer’s interests or pain points. 

Additionally, podcasting allows businesses to offer more than just promotional content. Through storytelling and in-depth discussions, companies can broaden their communications to customers.

Expands Reach and Increases Visibility

Podcasts can expand reach in a way that other content types might not. 

Listeners often share podcast episodes they find valuable, helping businesses extend visibility through word-of-mouth. 

Additionally, there’s a podcast for every niche. This allows businesses to precisely target a very specific audience, increasing the chances of converting listeners into customers.

Podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts have millions of active users. By being featured on these platforms, you have the potential to be discovered by a broader audience. 

Cross-promotion between podcasts within the same industry or category is also common, helping brands reach other established audiences.

Enhances SEO and Content Strategy

Podcasting can be more than an audio medium, as video podcasts are becoming common. This can help your content-marketing strategy and search engine optimization (SEO). 

For instance, a brand posting its podcast’s clips to YouTube and social-media platforms can boost the brand’s rankings for relevant search queries.

Repurposing podcasts via audio and video clips makes podcast marketing a powerful tool for businesses looking to optimize their overall content strategy. A podcast is not just a single piece of content, but a multi-use resource that can reach people through multiple channels.

Drives Traffic and Conversions

With strategic calls to action (CTAs) embedded in episodes, a brand can guide listeners to take specific actions like visiting a website or signing up for a newsletter. CTAs should feel natural and aligned with the podcast’s content.

Clips featuring CTAs can play important role in podcast-marketing endeavors. 

Many businesses’ podcast marketing coincides with launching products or services, promoting limited-time offers, or offering special discounts.
