Highlight: Connecting Emotions

Summary

Storytelling is an art that can make or break your event. It’s a powerful tool to connect with your customers on an emotional level and create authentic narratives to leave an impactful impression 

Here are some tips to help you craft a brand story that’s not just memorable, but also impactful.

1. Create an emotional connection:

We all remember stories that made us laugh, cry or feel angry. Stories with emotional engagement are the ones we tend to remember more than others because they resonate with us on a deeper level. This is why key messages should focus on creating emotional connections with their audiences through their stories.

2. Don’t sell too hard:

If you want people to remember your story, don’t overtire them with a marketing message that leaves no room for imagination or creativity of their own. Your audience will appreciate it if you leave them some space for their own interpretation of your messages instead of forcing them into accepting what you want them to believe about your subject

3. Focus on value creation:

In order to create valuable stories for your audience, it’s important that you know where they’re coming from so that you can tailor your content accordingly and deliver it in a way that makes sense.
