Using podcasts as an advertising medium is ideal for businesses - the hard work of finding your ideal customers has already been done. Podcast interviews and sponsorships are five times more effective than web ads like Meta/Facebook or Google ads, according to Advertisecast.

A study by Westwood One found that podcast advertising has a higher recall rate than traditional radio advertising, and that podcast ads are considered more trustworthy and less intrusive than other forms of advertising.

Podcasts offer a highly engaged audience. A study by Nielsen found that podcast listeners tend to be more engaged with the content they listen to, as compared to other forms of media.

Podcasts are a convenient form of entertainment and information, as they can be listened to anytime, anywhere. According to a survey by Edison Research, 66% of podcast listeners listen to podcasts while doing other things, such as driving, working, or exercising.

No. The show has a limited number of interview slots available for guests. Each week we receive substantially more applications than we have slots available. Production time for a featured guest interview episode is approximately four hours and includes interview preparation, recording, post-production, editing, and transcription. To support the production, hosting, and marketing of your evergreen episode to our global audience, we have introduced a Guest Appearance Fee for qualifying suitable B2B/B2C/DTC guests who want to be on the podcast. The guest appearance fee for featured interviews is $220 USD per episode. See what's included in our podcast rate card (PDF DOWNLOAD).

While most podcasts use their shows to promote their own products or services, such as courses and marketing agencies, we treat the Ecommerce Coffee Break as a serious business.

This approach allows us to invest in audio quality, marketing, and show growth, ultimately benefiting our listeners, our guests, and ourselves. By doing so, we can reach a wider audience, attract new listeners, and generate ongoing downloads for your featured guest episode.

Our goal is to create a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.

With over 250 episodes under our belt, we can proudly say that we have avoided 'podfade,' which is the decline and eventual discontinuation of a podcast due to factors like a lack of time, resources, or motivation from the podcast creator. Statistics show that 75% of all podcasts fail, with many fading away after just the 7th episode.

When you partner with us, it's more than just advertising; you receive substantial value.

What's more, you invest only 30 minutes in our podcast, and we take care of the rest.

To support the production (approximately 4 hours, including interview preparation, recording, post-production, editing), unlimited hosting, and marketing of your evergreen episode, we have introduced a guest appearance fee for qualifying guests who want to promote their product or service to our global audience of ecommerce merchants.

Generally, 25-30 minutes is good but if a conversation needs to go longer, that’s fine with me! I think some of the best conversations need some time to get into it. Fill out the podcast guest application form to apply today.

Nope, it won’t be recorded live. Unless we’re doing a special live episode or webinar. This means we can cut out or edit anything you’d like. I like to have real, transparent conversations but if you say something that should be edited or drop a name that you’d like to take out, just me know during or after we record!

We won’t be recording right when the call starts. We’ll have a quick catch up conversation and run through some of the questions and then get started with the recording.

No, we will follow a conversational format. I don't prepare questions in advance and therefore do not provide them.

The podcast's vibe is that of two friends or colleagues having a coffee break or water cooler chat. Scripted or staged interviews will not be accepted by me. Real conversions are more valuable to my listeners than scripted sales pitches. To get an idea of how the interview works, listen to a few episodes.

Here is a list of common questions:

• Can you please introduce yourself and tell our listeners a bit about your background in the ecommerce, app, and AI industries?
• What inspired you to create or be involved with your app solution in the first place?
• Could you highlight some of the key features and functionalities of your app that users find most valuable?
• How does artificial intelligence and machine learning play a role in your app's functionality?
• Can you share some insights into the integration options of your app?
• In the age of data breaches and privacy concerns, how do you ensure the security and privacy of user data within your app?
• Who is your perfect customer?
• Could you share some success stories or case studies of businesses that have effectively leveraged your technology?
• Walk me through the typical onboarding process for a new user. What steps are involved, and how long does it usually take to get up and running?
• Is there any kind of home work the merchant needs to do before they can get started?
• How does your pricing structure work?
• You've got your finger on the pulse of ecommerce. What emerging trends do you see shaping the online retail landscape?
• Finally, what advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs or businesses looking to thrive in the ecommerce?

No. The interview will be edited and the Ecommerce Coffee Break Podcast does not send edits for approval. For more details read the Podcast Interview Release Agreement.

Typically, I record several weeks ahead, so your episode may not be released for several weeks. Most go live within 45 days after we record. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live so you can share on your social media channel, email list & website. If you need your podcast episode to go live faster, ask for the Front-of-the-Line option, where your episode will be recorded and released within seven (7) days.
