During the recent TMSA Digital Transformation Conference in Chicago, there were a lot of digital marketing and sales strategies discussed among the attendees. One conversation that stuck with me happened during the lunch brainstorming session at the killer content table.
The innovative chat centered around different content ideas and how they could fit into the transportation and logistics industry. One of the questions on the table was whether podcasts had a place in transportation.
The answer: YES.
Why? Drivers.
Without drivers, our businesses would stop, literally. They spend their time, well, driving, giving way to ample listening time. And beyond that, there is a lot of legislation and safety regulations that affect many people in the industry. Where are they gaining this information? People want to consume knowledge in the way they like to learn.
For marketers, that means we need to produce content in the mediums our audience prefers.
Podcasts are on the rise. According to Edison Research and Triton Digital survey data, 44 percent of Americans aged 12 and older have listened to a podcast, with 26 percent listening within the past month. This was a significant increase from 2008, where only 9 percent had listened in the past month.
You could choose to do a driver-specific podcast or make it more widespread for the transportation and logistics industry as a whole.
Here are a few podcast formats:
Just remember, since this is a transportation and logistics podcast, your guests need to be industry-related.
