Stories - Why They Are So Important NOW in Biz by @scenttrail

Stories - Why They Are So Important NOW in Biz by @scenttrail | MarketingHits | Scoop.it
From scenttrail.blogspot.com - September 15, 2013 5:10 PM

Your website must begin by sharing stories. Almost immediately your marketing should emphasize User Generated Content (UGC). You share your stories to create TRUST. When your customers share their stories trust is assured.

Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com's insight:

Great article by my friend Marty! In this article Marty freely shares his insights on how businesses need to change their marketing approach and why Stories Matter in order to today's social market.

 

Thanks for sharing Karen.  


Karen's comment:

Marty Smith is a fabulous Marketer (online and offline) and I regularly follow his Scoop.it pages http://www.scoop.it/u/martin-marty-smith


He just wrote this blog post about why stories matter so much now in business -- which I think is fabulous. 


I particularly appreciate his points like:

  • No one speaks first, so conversations must be present and robust.
  • Speaking in stories creates more vulnerability than "marketing speak".
  • Being vulnerable creates trust and a quid pro quo. 


Marty also has some terrific insights on how Google is taking stories into account in its rankings of businesses. 


Truly story is becoming a core competence in business life. And many thanks for the shout-out in the article Marty!
