Ikea&#8217;s 2021 catalog, which is its final edition ever, is now a nearly four-hour podcast with a narrator flicking through each page and describing what&#8217;s in it.<br \/>\nIkea explained in the prologue that it made this to give bored, home-bound people something new to listen to. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;We know that by now, you&#8217;ve probably binged through every possible podcast, audiobook and &#8216;Best of 2020&#8217; playlist there is, so maybe you could use some new soothing sounds to put on while we all continue for normal life to get back to &#8230; normal,&#8221; the narrator said.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Think of it as a &#8220;tour for your ears,&#8221; the narrator said. Each audio chapter focuses on a different furnished home from the traditional catalog as well as offering how-to tips on furnishings and decorating. The audio is available on YouTube, Spotify and Audiobooks.com for free.<\/p>\n<p>Ikea has recently placed a heavier emphasis on digital sales and marketing as customers gravitate toward online shopping.<br \/>\nIts online sales got a big boost during the pandemic as millions of people turned their homes into makeshift schools and offices, with sales surging 45% over the 12 months to August. In January, Ikea rolled out an improved mobile app that finally allows for online shopping.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Ikea announced last year that it would be discontinuing its print catalog. The company cited the increasing shift to online browsing and shopping for the end of the 70-year-old publication.<br \/>\nLater this year, Ikea will release a smaller book that will be &#8220;filled with great home furnishing inspiration and knowledge&#8221; and celebrates the catalog&#8217;s history.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/11\/business\/ikea-catalog-audio-version\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (CNN Business)Everyone has a podcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":145812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
