What are the best ways to help you close a sponsorship deal? Ash and Kane outline the best ways you can win over marketers and executives to want to sponsor your podcast. They also talk about current podcast ad growth and why it is something that any podcaster can utilise.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You need to educate the sponsor, on what podcasting is, what they can gain from it, why it could work for them and why it’s better than an alternative method.
- Old episodes are there forever, they will be listened to in years to come.
- A good way to leverage your first season/first batch of episodes is by selling how much first episodes are relistened to.
- Talk about repurposing, how the sponsor won’t only get exposure from the podcast but also from clips on other platforms, social media posts, blogs and more
- Smaller creators who don’t often do ads will have higher conversion because they have trust and a relationship with their audience.
- Most podcasts have a specific audience which means you can get some very specific sponsors and be very targeted.
- The amount of money sponsors have spent on podcasts is increasing every year, set to be 3.9 billion in just the US by 2025
- You can get very technical with your dynamic ad insertion, targeting old episodes or subject-specific episodes
