Building a Brand Presence When Podcasting
from:Deb St. George, on Building a Brand Presence When Podcasting in your Podcasting Guide From Life-Hosting.com
Podcasting, just like Radio and TV shows can mean a lot of competition for your business. Do you know what it takes to set your business podcast apart from the dozens of others podcast being produced on a similar subject? It's about developing brand awareness and establishing an identity. Help your podcast get the attention it deserves by remembering too:
Cater to your niche
Though podcasting is becoming big business, most podcast could do more to really understand who their target audience is and cater to their niche. If you already took the time to create a Web site you probably learned aloud about your targeted audience and how they like to be reached. However, as business grows and expands you might realize that your niche has changed or needs to incorporate different elements in order to give the audience what they want.
Create a logo
All businesses looking to create a brand need a logo and a podcast is no different. When individuals see a logo, they begin to associate it with a particular company. Logos can be used in every aspect of your marketing efforts and should accompany press releases and be added to your Web site and blogs. When creating your logo keep in mind your audience. The logo should be visually appealing, easy to see and feature colors and styles that compliment your Web site and blog.
For businesses that already have a logo creating a variation of the logo for podcasting will help your podcast look more professional. Logos don't have to be purchased from freelance graphic artist or firms. Adobe PhotoShop and other logo creation software allows even beginners to create their own original logo.
Use your podcast to redirect listeners to your Web site
If your audience doesn't have all the information about your business you cant expect podcasting to convert to sales. During the introduction and when wrapping up the podcast, provide the name of your company and how viewers can contact you to buy products or services, most podcasters do this by proving their Web site address and blog address.
Get interactive
After your podcast has been around for a while, getting listeners to participate in what happens during the podcast will keep them listening and set you apart. Some podcasters user their websites to get viewers to send in questions that they will respond to during a segment of their podcast, a business might solicit customer testimonials and play them during the podcast. Smart podcasters know that viewers are bluntly honest and can help them understand who their target audience is and how to better focus the messages of their podcast so the audience gains information of value.
Experience is really the best way of learning what works for creating a brand presence. After producing your podcast for a while, you may realize that your podcast runs too long and drags in the middle, or is too short and crowded with information that is rarely on topic. Fine-tune your podcast, review what works to gain listeners notice, establish your brand and get rid of elements that just don't work.
