The Importance Of Having Multi Channels And Podcasts For Your Business
How do you keep up with your prospects and customers?
Do you know where they are?
I’ll let you in on a secret…
They are everywhere!
That’s why at GKIC we believe in a multi channel marketing approach.
You see if you’re not marketing to your customers multiple ways, you might not be reaching them.
Plus, when you consider that multichannel customers spend 3 – 4 times more than single channel customers do.
It’s worth focusing your time and effort to get this right.
More and more consumers today are becoming multichannel media users. According to research by Nielsen, 46% of smartphone owners and 43% of tablet owners said they use their devices while watching TV every day.
So what do we recommend at GKIC?
Here are a few examples…
•Print Ad – magazines, newspapers, flyers etc.
•Direct Mail – Printed sales letter mailed to your prospects.
•Phone – Never underestimate the power of picking up the phone to call your prospects. You also have the option to text and Whatsapp etc.
•Emails – Got an email list? You need one, probably the easiest way to reach your prospects and track/measure results immediately.

In this week’s blog we’re going to look at podcasts and why you should be using them as part of your multi channel marketing.
How do you run a podcast in your business and get people to listen?
To create a podcast you need to be able to:
• Record audio files, such as an MP3. Audacity is an example of free software
• Host them.
•Syndicate these files into what’s called an “RSS feed” so that it can be distributed through iTunes as well as downloaded or streamed on on-demand.
Get your content out there!
You see, a podcast allows you to reach a brand new audience.
Pros about podcasts

Or “My FB Ads aren’t getting enough interest”
And they give up.
When their lack of results are because they’re not doing it consistently.
I can’t stress this enough…
You need to:
•TEST
•MEASURE
•IMPROVE
