Visibility Tactic #6: Deepen Relationships through Serialized Programming

on February 2, 2015

Talk to anyone who has a successful business podcast and chances they’ll tell you their show is one of their biggest drivers of new clients. Serialized programming, such as an audio or video podcast or even a newsletter, invites your audience to have a relationship with you and it allows you to build your brand over time. Plus, a podcast allows your brand to have persistent placement on their personal device (phone or iPod), and when they choose to listen you’re reaching them in a more relaxed state. A newsletter is a repeated invitation to appear in their email inbox.

While podcasts are such great drivers of business, very few companies choose to produce them, because it takes a serious financial and time commitment. It takes a while to build an audience. Magazines don’t all of a sudden get thousands of subscribers from a single issue. The same is true with podcasts, which require a long-term commitment, at least one year. Remember, at one time, all successful podcasters were virtual unknowns.
