By incorporating the art of storytelling into your marketing mix, you\u2019ll be able to grow your business and reach your audience in ways that truly matter to them. Here\u2019s why storytelling is a powerful advertising tool that every local business should consider:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evoke Emotions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Storytelling taps into our emotions, whether it be happiness, sadness, anger or empathy. Think of the most viral social media posts or news stories you\u2019ve seen lately. Every example that comes to mind likely evokes at least one of these common emotions. Advertising works in a very similar way. As a customer, you\u2019re much more likely to remember a commercial or print ad that creates an emotional appeal over one that doesn\u2019t. There\u2019s also a huge market opportunity for businesses to create an emotional tie before the competition. <strong><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spiralytics.com\/blog\/statistics-prove-emotional-marketing-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies show<\/a><\/strong> that only about 15% of customers believe brands understand how to form emotional connections.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><strong>Humanize Your Brand\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Stand out from the crowd by giving your brand a personality of its own, and think about how to create a community amongst your customer base. Find a compelling angle about your brand and share it with your local community. It could be your founding story, how your services benefit the community, or a plethora of other options. Reach customers on a personal level and show them how you can relate to their everyday wants and needs. This will humanize your brand and show them you\u2019re much more than just another business asking for their money.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><strong>Build Credibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Trust is a key component to earning new customers and retaining the existing ones. By telling your brand story, you\u2019ll boost your credibility in the community and show customers why your business is worth supporting over the competition. Did you know that <strong><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spiralytics.com\/blog\/statistics-prove-emotional-marketing-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">71% of customers<\/a><\/strong> recommend a brand based on their emotional connection to it? Focus on becoming a trustworthy and credible business and word-of-mouth will spread quickly throughout the community.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s never been a better time to share your brand\u2019s story with the community! <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestversionmedia.com\/advertise-with-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/strong> to learn more about Best Version Media and what we do to unite communities and help local businesses thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storytelling is one of the best ways to connect with local customers on an emotional level.
