Podcasts are a growing form of communication. Everywhere you look there’s another being created, serving a wide or very specific audience, and as noted at our conference and in our census, the tastes of consumers and the free -time they have is changing. There are 750,000 active podcasts in 2019 alone, with over 30 million episodes online now. So, you’re probably wondering “Why on earth would you want to be podcast #750,001?” Well, there are no podcasts specifically for retail marketers with knowledge being shared by actual retail marketers; so, we said “Hey, we should make that!”. And thus The Common Thread was born.
Our CEO spoke about the importance of adding value to the time your messages and interactions take away from your customers and as our customers we want to continue to adapt and mature in our aims of providing you with content that assists, intrigues and teaches you how to work towards providing marketing experiences your customers will love.
And this mission is the backbone of the podcast. We asked each guest how they are creating those experiences and what the obstacles they’ve faced maintaining them. ‘The Common Thread’ highlights the clear pattern we saw emerging as we spoke to retail marketers, regardless of the vertical or audience. The podcast has been showing that there are common shared threads of practice, challenge and innovation that your peers are discussing and attempting.
We want to facilitate a space where you can have all the benefits of a networking event, without even having to leave the office. In this first season, we have spoken to range of retailers, from those who have one specific product to those with an ever-growing roster. We discuss what it takes to excite your customers as you grow, truly provide what they want and even the impact of having a founder-led business versus a more legacy brand.
