on one of the most popular Eco-Podcasts on the Worldwide Web

Listen to the announcement (2+ minutes)

As we’re sure you know, the green world is experiencing explosive growth. Yet for marketers it is an elusive demographic. No longer defined by age and gender but rather by values and interest, it is not only harder to reach but is no longer motivated by the traditional marketing methods.

This demographic have strong concerns about the environment, human rights, sustainability of natural resources, community development, fair-trade and spiritual and personal development. They are smarter, more inquisitive, less trusting, more experimental and better informed than any group of customers have ever been before. They represent 32.3% of American adults or 68 million consumers and a $226 billion U.S. market.

According to the New York Times:

“They may be the biggest market you never heard of, encompassing goods and services from organic products, energy efficient appliances to solar energy, alternative medicine, yoga tapes and eco tourism.” (New York Times, July 20, 2003).

To reach and communicate effectively it is no longer profitable to “sell them” your products, but rather to listen to the values of their lifestyles and offer them solutions to needs and wants.

America the Green has build that audience by becoming a leading voice and source of information to the green consumer. Our loyal listeners and subscribers have taken their time and energy to find us, download us and listen to us on a regular and committed basis.

The Power Of Podcasting

According to TDC Research, the “profit pool” of the current U.S. Broadband market has already reached $50 Billion and is expected to grow rapidly to $87 Billion by 2010. .

Thanks to Steve Jobs, the iPod and iTunes, podcasting is everywhere. Powerful, portable and on-demand podcasting is the media choice of genders and generations that cross traditional demographics definitions. Simply put, podcasting delivers exactly the content listeners want, when they want it.

As traditional media struggles to find and retain their audience, they now know where to look for them. They’re at their computers or wearing i-Pod players or listening at their automobile i-Pod ports to the growing number of podcasts and podcasters who have build their significant audiences based on content and interaction with their loyal and involved listeners
