Sharing Your Brand's Narrative

What’s your “why?”

Think about it; when you started your business did you have an “ah-hah!” moment? Were you inspired to do some social good? Did your family have a time-honored tradition that you knew you needed to share with the world?

No matter what your reason is for launching a startup, or taking over the family business, your fans want to know your brand’s narrative. Sharing your story can help your business attract new customers and create a deeper connection to those who are already using your products or services. Build loyalty among your followers by giving them a closer look at the passion behind your business. You can share your brand’s narrative a few different ways!

Sharing some live streams of behind-the-scenes action at your company can give your fans an idea of how you create a product, or what sets your service apart from the rest. Going “Live” on Facebook is also a chance to share some impromptu tips and a bit of your personality with your fans. Your followers will appreciate the authenticity - plus, it’s a fun way to connect with your employees, too!

Write a Blog

Put it on “paper.” Keep your readers coming back for more by regularly updating your blog. Remember - if you’re looking to share your brand’s narrative you should keep your blogs conversational! Show your personality and avoid sounding like a textbook. [Snore.]

Showing support for something that’s meaningful to you is a great way to share your brand’s narrative and to connect with like-minded members of your community.

Tell your brand’s story in creative and meaningful ways throughout the year. Each season offers a new opportunity to bring those who support your business together. Update your fans regularly on the exciting work you’re doing and invite the
