55% of Americans have listened to a podcast.
75% at least know what a podcast is.
And the popularity is growing and is fully expected to continue on its upward trajectory.
Statistics like these beg the questions, why is this medium so popular? And, what does it mean for my ecommerce store?
First things first. The podcast rage has taken hold for one major reason: Convenience.
Have you ever tried reading an article while you’re driving? What about watching a video while you’re taking a run? (Please, don’t do either of these activities. You’ll hurt yourself or someone else. Or, at the very least, look kinda foolish.)
The point, of course, is that you can listen to a podcast while you’re exercising, cooking, driving, buzzing around town doing errands, etc.
No matter how busy you are, the chances are high that you can tune into a podcast at some point during your day.
So, what does this mean for your ecommerce store? A podcast is an incredibly accessible and effective way to learn more about your industry, business in general, or grow in your knowledge of how to run a successful ecom store.
You’ll hear from experts and stay on top of what’s trending in ecommerce and in your niche.
Without further ado, here are 5 ecommerce podcasts that you should add to your playlist.
