Why Is It Important To Tell Your Brand Story

Your brand story is the most important statement you can make. To ensure it’s as powerful as it can be, document your story and ask these three questions.

  • Is it relevant?
  • Is it valuable?
  • Is it extendable?

Storytelling has a long history that dates back thousands of years and hasn’t lost any of its power. Human psychology researchers have discovered that telling a story makes it easier for people to relate to whatever they hear.

The 5 keys to a great brand story

Make it meaningful 😏- Too many brands are preoccupied with what they want to create (or what other brands are creating) rather than what people care about. A good story must be interesting and relevant to the people you are attempting to reach.

Make it personal 😉- People must feel a personal connection to them. This is critical not only to pique their interest, but also to draw them into the story. How does your brand make their life better? Why should they invest their time in this story?

Make it emotional 😌- Your software may automate emails, but its ultimate goal is to make people’s lives easier and less stressful. That is the story’s emotional hook. You’ll have them hooked if you can elicit that emotion in the first paragraph of a blog or the first few seconds of a video.

Make it simple 🙂- Trying to say too much is a common mistake in brand storytelling. It is far preferable to tell a single, simple story and maximise emotional attachment than to overwhelm people with multiple stories.

Make it authentic 😎 – When you share your brand story, make it clear that it is your story. That entails being open, truthful, and transparent. It entails allowing your personality to shine through.
