Have you tried podcasting? Maybe you should.
Podcasts are a booming business. From business gurus to comedians, podcasting has become a favorite marketing and communication tool for millions worldwide. Actually the number of podcast fans has crossed the billion mark. Last July, Apple announced they reached their one billionth podcast subscriber on iTunes. From business to philosophy and everything in between, there are podcast topics available for all types of interests—and customers. Business owners and marketers have discovered that podcasting is an intimate, effective and affordable way to reach their customers to boost brand loyalty and sales.
Join us as we explore how to start podcasting for your business and what it takes to create a podcast. This month our guest Thomas Umstattd, a local business owner and podcaster will share with us his secrets on how to be successful in podcasting. He will coach us on to use podcasting as a low-cost marketing tool to become a thought leader in your industry, to boost your brand’s awareness and increase sales in the process.
