This week's tip is a listener tip for Diann Wingert
Speaker:
00:00:26
of The Driven Woman Entrepreneur Podcast.
Speaker:
00:00:29
Diann left a really nice review for One Minute Podcast Tips on Apple Podcasts.
Speaker:
00:00:32
And if you enjoy the show, you can do the same at oneminutepodcasttips.com/review.
Speaker:
00:00:37
Now to Diann's question.
Speaker:
00:00:39
Diann wants to know how do you let your listeners know if you want to rebrand your podcast?
Speaker:
00:00:42
And that's a great question.
Speaker:
00:00:44
The main thing is to ensure your listeners aren't confused by the rebrand.
Speaker:
00:00:47
So whether it's just a name change or a complete change including topics, artwork, and more,
Speaker:
00:00:52
it's key that you let your listeners know ahead of time.
Speaker:
00:00:54
Now there are a few ways to do this.
Speaker:
00:00:55
The obvious way is to mention in episodes leading up to the rebrand.
Speaker:
00:00:59
That way you can tell your listeners that the format's changing and what to look out for.
Speaker:
00:01:03
However, not everybody listens to all your episodes.
Speaker:
00:01:06
So ideally, if your podcast host allows it,
Speaker:
00:01:09
you would use dynamic content and insert an audio snippet across all your episodes advising of the change.
Speaker:
00:01:14
And make sure you let them know what to look out for.
Speaker:
00:01:16
So if it's just the name, give them the name of the podcast.
Speaker:
00:01:19
If it's artwork and more, give them an idea what the artwork's going to look like.
Speaker:
00:01:23
That way, when you do make the rebrand, they can look out for that work on their preferred podcast app.
Speaker:
00:01:27
And of course, if you've got a newsletter for your podcast, send an update ahead of time,
Speaker:
00:01:31
letting your listeners know when the change will happen and what to look out for.
Speaker:
00:01:34
From a time frame point of view, I'd always recommend at least a month ahead of the rebrand itself.
Speaker:
00:01:39
That way you can let both existing and new listeners know about it.
Speaker:
00:01:42
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:44
Thanks for listening.
