When you forget that and write all about your products and services, your customers check out of your emails and you won\u2019t see results.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What to do instead:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Put yourself into the story your customers are living when you start to write to them! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Then you will discover how you can play a powerful role in THEIR story. When you make that shift, something special happens. You start truly connecting with your audience in a meaningful way. To start doing that, you need to send emails that tell stories.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Why storytelling works in email marketing strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Storytelling is a rich means of engaging with people. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Neuroscientists have watched the brains of people listening or watching a story while in an FMRI machine. They discovered that listening to storytelling narrative actually activates more parts of your brain than trying to process data or facts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">In fact, data makes our brains work harder (and use more calories!) to decode meaning. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">But here\u2019s something interesting about what happens in your brain while you\u2019re watching a story: <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">The brain doesn\u2019t absorb story as a spectator, it places you as a participant in the action.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\"> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">That\u2019s why stories hold our attention so well and are great to use for email marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whatever is happening in a story you\u2019re reading, is happening to you. The success of all your brand communications and your email marketing strategy is rooted in telling your audience stories.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What\u2019s a good story for you to tell in your emails?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Your brand story is a narrative based on your company\u2019s mission, values, and personality. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">It\u2019s your culture, your content, and your customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, even though you may feel your brand story is unique, your brand story is not compelling enough on its own to create a connection with your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Looking for an email marketing best practice?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">The key to a killer, highly converting brand story is aligning your brand story to the goals of your customer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Businesses that only talk about themselves end up only talking to themselves!<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\"><strong>Customers don\u2019t care if they fit into your brand story, they care if your brand fits into theirs. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">So here\u2019s the missing piece: your customer\u2019s story is also part of your brand story. Once you have all of these components woven together, your brand story becomes the hook in your marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\"><strong>PRO TIP:<\/strong> If you\u2019re doing a good job of making your customer part of your brand story, you\u2019re more likely to use words like \u201cyou\u201d and \u201cyour\u201d rather then \u201cwe\u201d or \u201cus\u201d. Go through your copy to make sure that&#8217;s the case!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">To build a highly converting email strategy, your brand story must provide real support, and value around your customers\u2019 goals. A good brand narrative is the bright North Star of your email strategy. It helps you create messages that change the way people feel about your brand. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\"><strong>It builds something incredibly valuable: a relationship with your customers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking for some ways to get started with email marketing strategy that incorporates storytelling? Here are 5 tips.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>5 Storytelling Email Marketing Campaign Ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Whenever you\u2019re sitting down to write an email to talk about your product or service, you frame it as part of your customers\u2019 \u201cstory\u201d and how it makes their life better. Here are some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Let your existing customers share their experience of using your products or services. That\u2019s a great story.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n[CTA_A title=&#8221;Don&#8217;t worry, you can automate that.\n&#8220;]\nHoneyBook&#8217;s questionnaires and automation tools will ensure that you&#8217;re constantly grabbing those client stories and testimonials without adding another thing to your to-do list. \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/share.honeybook.com\/nathalie87423?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=storytelling-nathalie-pincham\">Get 50% off from Nathalie.

Who did you have in mind when you created it? What gave you the idea? You could connect it to a personal story like an anniversary, a holiday, or any other real inspiration that sparked the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Tip #3: <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Create an email that shows the perks of using your products or services. The images and copy in your email are your opportunity to show what life will look like when your customers take action and decide to do business with you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Tip #4:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Tell the story behind why your company has chosen to solve the problem you solve. When your readers relate to the common pain point that your product solves, they\u2019re more likely to find your message interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Tip #5: <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">Your stories should not always be directly tied to your offers or products. Include personal anecdotes to help humanize your brand and help build engagement. Keep in mind that characters people can relate to are the essence of every good story. A relatable character helps your email reader to start picturing everything that is being said and makes it more memorable and engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">To download your copy of the Email Campaign Planner, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hellobrightworks.com\/library-login\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\" class=\"tadv-format-panel\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ready to have email marketing do the heavy lifting for you?
