When your brand doesn’t tell a story, you’re just another business.

As a brand we need to connect with our audience. In order to do that, we have to be transparent and tell our story. By crafting a story around our brand, we create an emotional connection between our audience and our business.

Here are 6 reasons why you need a brand story:

1. A brand story sets you apart. Without one you’re just another business or commodity.
2. When people know your story, they care about you and connect with you.
3. A connection means loyalty to your services or products.
4. You’re crafting uniqueness and dictating the value of your company
5. Customers with a connection will buy your products and pass up competitors in favor of you.
6. Advertising that evokes emotional responses has a greater influence on customers.
