This is our second unofficial podcast following an HGTV TV Series and I am really looking forward to the results that I think will come from this new show. I give you some very interesting stats regarding our current show the Fixer Upper Podcast. The Home Town Podcast follows a new and unknown show compared to the size and popularity of Fixer Upper, I believe will actually do better for us. Listen till the end as I share the secret to why I see this smaller name podcast doing so well for us.

Gary Leland Show Episode 33
This episode of the Gary Leland Show is a follow up to last episode about the marketing and advertising I am doing for Leland's Wallpaper. I dive into our recent project creating the Fixer Upper Podcast and how I produce the show.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We have been following the new season of the HGTV Show titled Fixer Upper, with Chip and Joanna Gaines, and each week my wife and I record an episode discussing the newest episode.
The best part about producing our own show is that I am able to market products we are creating like shirts and hats with our logo and slogan's on them. Another aspect of this podcast is that since we own a wallpaper store, Joanna Gaines has a wallpaper line that we are selling in store and online. This way we can market wallpaper that was featured in the episode and from the featured wallpaper book she has created.
By the way it is working. Sales have been going wild!
You may not know it but the first website I created back in 1996 was LelandsWallpaper.com. Leland's Wallpaper is the largest wallpaper store in Texas, and was probably one of the first wallpaper websites on the internet. With these new strategies our online sales have really increased over the last year.
Find out more information about LelandsWallpaper.com and FixerUpperPodcast.com and see what we have created!
