The hard sell will not sell anymore. Dry press releases and thoughtless “Buy me!” posts just won’t cut it. Consumers are now increasingly ignoring blatant marketing messages, and instead, are drawn to content that engages, entertains, and touches them. Content can take the form of blog posts, infographics, videos, photos, or podcasts, but they are founded on the same thing: good, meaningful stories that people connect with.
According to Post Advertising, “stories are uniquely able to move people’s hearts, minds, feet, and wallets in the storyteller’s intended direction.” People don’t have the patience to listen to a marketer’s 30-second pitch, but when that information is woven subtly within an exciting, interesting, or heartwarming narrative, it becomes worth an audience’s full attention. The difference here is that stories provide an experience that genuinely draws people in while generic marketing techniques are quickly forgotten and often shunned.
