A retail and ecommerce brands podcast, produced well.

Shoppers buy from brands they recognise. A podcast gives a retailer a voice that is not an advert and a reason for customers to return.

Why retail and ecommerce start a podcast

Product pages cannot carry a brand’s story. Audio lets founders, buyers and makers explain why products exist and how to choose.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • How a product is made or selected.
  • Buying guides, in plain words.
  • Founders and makers in conversation.
  • Customer questions answered by the team.

What to settle before you record

A retail show succeeds when it helps people choose, not when it lists products. Keep the selling to the end of an episode, and connect each one to a page that supports it.

  • A format that is useful without a purchase.
  • A link from each episode to a relevant page.
  • A realistic cadence around peak season.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For retail and ecommerce brands that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Should a retailer talk about products on the show?

Yes, but as part of helping a listener decide. Episodes that read as adverts tend to lose the audience.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
