1. It humanizes your brand.
When you meet someone, you get to know them by learning about their background; where they grew up, what they do, what they like…and it’s the same with companies and organizations. When a customer visits your website or store or signs up for your newsletter, they want to know more about your business, your mission, or the services or products you offer. They also want to know how your brand differs from your competitors and why they should buy from you instead. Your brand story humanizes your business by sharing your background, letting visitors get to know you.
2. It helps you connect with your customers.
You’re more likely to reach and attract the right audience, customers, or clients by sharing your story. Your audience will be interested to know what your brand stands for, and as a result of sharing your story, those like-minded customers will be drawn to you. Over time, you will also build trust with your new and existing customers, resulting in repeat business.
3. It increases brand awareness and loyalty.
As you connect with your customers and build trust with them, awareness of your brand will grow. As awareness grows, recognition of your brand increases, and your sales and conversions improve, resulting in an increase in loyalty to your unique brand and what you have to offer.
