When it comes to marketing, there are an overwhelming amount of methods and strategies. Those methods and strategies are certainly not a \u201cone size fits all\u201d deal. Have you ever attempted a method and didn\u2019t see the return that other business owners were receiving? That could be because the services or products you offer don’t benefit from using that particular method.<\/p>\n

The StoryBrand<\/a> framework is designed to improve your business\u2019s marketing strategy by clarifying your message. And the best part is that most, if not all businesses can benefit from this framework. Let\u2019s take a look at what makes StoryBrand so effective!<\/p>\n

What is the StoryBrand Framework?<\/h2>\n

StoryBrand was created in 2017 by marketing innovator, Donald Miller. At it’s core, StoryBrand offers a solid framework that can have a positive domino effect on your small business.<\/p>\n

The framework includes seven steps to better your business.<\/p>\n

Step One<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identify your character\/hero. In this case, that will be your customer. Use a marketing strategy you\u2019re confident with, engage and attract your ideal customer.<\/p>\n

Step Two<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identify the problem your customer is facing. Your \u201chero\u201d has obstacles to overcome before they find success.<\/p>\n

Step Three<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your hero meets a guide, the guide being your business. Have empathy to understand your hero\u2019s problem while also having authority to help your hero overcome their obstacles.<\/p>\n

Step Four<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give them a plan which doubles as their solution. Convey your plan without confusing them. A simple overview of your solution is enough.<\/p>\n

Step Five<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call them to action. The use of a direct and a transitional CTA. A direct CTA would be calling them to get started now, while a transitional would offer more information on how your business can provide a solution.<\/p>\n

Step Six<\/strong><\/p>\n

End the story with success. Paint a clear version of your hero\u2019s future and continue to remind them why they chose you.<\/p>\n

Step Seven<\/strong><\/p>\n

Help them avoid failure. Remind your hero that they won\u2019t receive the growth or even go back if they fail to choose you as their guide.<\/p>\n

Next Steps<\/h2>\n

When you put those steps together, it goes like this. A character (your customer), has a problem and meets a guide (your business), who gives them a plan (your solutions) and calls them to action that ends in success and helps them avoid failure.<\/p>\n

Storybrand has the ability to help leverage story to drive engagement. Your hero wants to find success and resolve their problems, you are there to provide a clear solution. When sharing your solution\/plan, it\u2019s important to keep things simple. When you confuse, you lose.<\/p>\n

Properly expressing empathy for your hero\u2019s problem allows a bond of trust to be created. Closely following, display your authority over their problem. Convey that your business has what it takes to help them overcome their obstacles.<\/p>\n
