What happens when one or all of these don’t exist? Because your audience doesn’t feel a connection to your offers or you, you get ordinary marketing that may leave you frustrated and with lack-luster results.

The fix? Add this one little element to your online marketing and everything changes.

Why?

Because Storytelling Lights Up Your Brain

Gregory Berns was lead author of a study at Emory University in Atlanta. During the experiment, his team had students read 30 pages nightly from the novel Pompeii. By administering MRIs before and after the readings, Berns discovered that storytelling evokes an area of your brain that associates what you’re reading with actually doing what you’ve read. In short, stories act like a drug lighting up your brain in positive ways.

Even after the nightly readings stopped, MRIs showed the affects remained in the students’ brains for up to five more days.

Was it a one-time fluke? Nope! For decades, national and international brands have provided storytelling in marketing works.

Storytelling Techniques Saved Procter & Gamble From A Multi-Million Dollar Loss

Sales were horrible!

A team of researchers held in-home interviews to try and find out why. One was with the owner of nine cats. As one researcher got to the point of gagging, he asked the woman what she did about the cat smell.

Cat Owner:  “Smell? It’s not a problem.”

Team Member:  “Do you smell it now?”

Cat Owner:  “No. Isn’t it wonderful that my cats don’t smell?”

Enter Febreze’s “Nose Blind” commercials telling comical stories of homeowners who had gone “blind” to odors in their houses that everybody else could still smell.

That and adding scents to the previously unscented formula did the trick and put Febreze on a profit-generating path.

All The Successful Brands Use Storytelling In Their Marketing

Whether you’ve seen them on their websites, video, TV, social media or somewhere else, you might remember:

• Subaru – Practically all of their TV commercials and print ads include stories that depict everything from their high safety ratings to how pet owners take their dogs with them everywhere.
• Farmer’s Insurance – How funny! Those true stories about the most unusual accidents they have covered will make you laugh out loud.
• Allstate Insurance – It must be a trend for insurance companies to use funny storytelling in their marketing because Allstate’s “Mayhem” ads are hilarious.
• The Pioneer Woman – Ree Drummond – Whether on her blog, TV show, social media or anywhere else, this home cook found her fame by letting us get to know her and her entire ranching family with her stories. That and making delicious, unique meals.

Then there’s:

• Chick-fil-A
• Star Trek
• U.S. Figure Skating
• Dodge
• Nike
• Airbnb
• Dove Soap
• Edward Jones Investments
• And so many others
