🔥How to tell a good product story?

14
•
Do you pay attention to storytelling when promoting products? What kind of stories do you usually tell? Is it about the value of the product? Or about the origin of the product?

If I have to go with one piece of thought, here you go - Start with the biggest problem your target audience experience most frequently and build a solid narrative around it in an authentic and interesting way.

There's still tremendous power of good business case studies woven into stories in written and video format. Additionally as Google Search dominance is coming to an end and with AI Search taking over, those will be more relevant as it garners relevancy. Depending on what industry you are targeting, you need do pragmatic testing of potential stories.

Sharing what you're doing in a creative way can be an effective storytelling technique, making you the hero of your own journey without the need for extensive effort to craft a story. This approach is a proven strategy that many founders successfully use.

IMHO, the important thing is to make people feel something. It can be the origin or value, but people need to think about themselves use the product, or find a common thing.

I actually prefer or would prefer to tell real product stories, as many of the products are based on my own life experiences and difficulties with the products. But I've never been sure that users are interested in such personalized stories🤔

Storytelling is at the heart of great product promotion—it’s what makes people connect. I focus on stories that highlight the value a product brings to its users, often tying it to real-life scenarios or challenges it solves. Origin stories are great too, especially when they show the passion and purpose behind the product. For example, in our community, we often discuss how to craft narratives that resonate, and tools like Draftly help streamline the ideation process for such content. https://go.draftly.so/IC1Vyn

Know pain points and know how your product solves this problem.
