Most podcasts are consumed by headphones or earbuds while the listener is doing other things. They are manually engaged in their activity, but mindfully focused on what you are saying., You now have their mental attention. Uncluttered by anyone else’s’ advertising or marketing message. This can build a trust and a familiarity between you and them. This builds on your authority in your niche. It builds the brand and the awareness like nothing else can.
Plus, with a podcast that is kept active, it can last for years. The Vegas Tourist Podcast has been going since 2006 and many of its programs are still available to listen to and download. Our past guests and advertisers tell us that they still get calls and comments from being on a podcast over 5 years ago! No radio ad or tv spot can say that!
