There are three types of retailers: Those that sell their own products exclusively, those that sell other’s products and those that do both. If you’re one that sells your own products, Emily Grey has some advice for you.
She not only owns her own clothing and gift store in Raleigh, North Carolina called The Flourish Market, which has a great story to tell, but she also moonlights helping makers and businesses get their products on the shelves at retailers by educating folks on approaches to wholesaling.
We talked to Emily about purpose-driven businesses, leveraging other retailers in your own business and building out wholesale business for your retail store.
Also, Twitter has announced another advertising-focused feature. Our own Jason Falls shares his typical contrarian rant about the resounding “meh” of the move.
This episode of Digging Deeper is brought to you by PodchaserPro. One hundred million Americans each month listen to podcasts. For your business, or if you’re at an agency, your client’s business, ignoring podcasts as a method to reach an audience is not smart. But podcasts are hard to find, hard to track and it’s nearly impossible to find reliable audience size and demographic information to know which podcasts to sponsor or to pitch right?
PodChaserPro is the professional version of Podchaser, which helps anyone find, manage, rate and follow podcasts. I think of it as an IMDB for podcasts. You don’t have to clutter your podcast app with a bunch of subscriptions you never listen to. Podchaser helps you find and manage them like you’re subscribing to blogs in one place.
PodchaserPro, however, gives you access to that critical audience information you need for media planning and buying, or public relations or influencer outreach to podcasts. You find a podcast, click on the Pro tab and see everything you need right there. If there’s a piece of information you don’t see or can’t find, PodchaserPro subscribers have a personal concierge. Just ask them to go find it and within a day or so, they get back to you.
We have used PodchaserPro to make recommendations for media buys and sponsorships to clients. We have also used it to prioritize podcasts for pitching guests and trying to be a part of the show itself. It’s a must-have tool for finding, prioritizing, targeting and tracking podcasts for your business or clients.
