It’s no secret that podcasts as a communication medium have grown exponentially over the past few years. Most of us would agree it’s an excellent way for estheticians to connect with like-minded communities and learn more about things they are interested in.
According to The 2018 Infinite Dial Study by Edison Research and Triton Digital: “Podcasting continues to steadily grow, as 44% of Americans 12+ now say they have ever listened to a podcast, up from 40% from last year.” That study also revealed that 12 million people listened to their very first podcast during that year. From the responses received, 63% said the biggest benefit of listening to podcasts for their business was learning while multitasking. The second most popular answer was for finding new ideas.
Podcasts are perfect for busy spa professionals. Just grab your device, press play, and go about your tasks. And since our industry is continually growing and changing, there is ALWAYS something new to learn – new treatments and modalities, skincare equipment and products, cosmetic chemistry, and tips on running a business to name a few.
