Your brand story is a very effective way of showing, not just telling, what your brand has to offer. You can attract and influence people by creating a long-term story, being consistent, and showing them what you care about. This is the best way to grab their attention and generate trust.

Here are some tips about how to create a successful brand story.

1. Show and Connect

It’s always better to show rather than to tell. Focus on how your brand helped a specific person. You want your audience to connect with this person and how your brand can improve their life.

If you just throw out a bunch of bland sale pitches, people will tune out because they hear these pitches all the time and do not relate to them.

It’s the difference between mass marketing and successful marketing. If you trying to appeal to everyone you will influence no-one.

Humor and sentimentality are two excellent ways to connect with your target audience.

You are trying to evoke emotions, so keep this in mind when writing your brand story.

2. Create a Long-Term Story

Remember that you are trying to create a relationship with your audience, and you want them to come back again and again. You want to attract and captivate your target audience.

Think up some challenges that your story’s hero can struggle with but finally overcome. The important thing is for these challenges to be part of a continuing story – not a one-off.

You want people coming back, again and again, to find out how the character, who they are emotionally invested and interested in, is doing. Each installment should leave the audience wanting more and wondering what will happen next.

3. Consistency and Trust

You need to keep your brand consistent with the values it associates with. People are exposed to a lot of advertising and, as a result, they are generally very good at spotting a brand that is not being authentic.

The relationship you are building through your story will be compromised if the consumer feels that you have violated their trust. So when you make a promise, keep it.

Make your values part of your brand story. Explain why they are important and how you can help your audience. Keep your message consistent in all your different marketing avenues.

4. Grab people’s attention – Know Your Audience

It’s important to grab people’s attention so that they can get invested in your story. One important tip is to know your audience.

What demographic are you targeting? What motivates them? Base your characters and your story on things that will interest your audience.

Another way to grab people’s interest is with the language that you use. Choose the wrong tone and people will go away. Spend some time figuring out how to best communicate with your target audience.

Track your links to figure out which social posts receive the most engagement. Speak to your audience in such a way as to grab and keep their attention. Your goal is to quickly transition from piquing their interest in creating an emotional investment.

It’s very difficult to reach people in today’s competitive online world. Stand out from the competition by crafting a brand story with a consistent and long-term story that shows off what your brand has to offer.

Make sure to maintain authenticity and show your audience what your company’s mission is and why they should care about it.
