What do you remember longer — a story about someone like you, or a list of statistics? Chances are, the story will stay with you.
Stanford research shows that people are more than twice as likely to remember stories than facts alone. In marketing, this insight changes everything.
Why Stories Work
-
They connect emotionally. People relate to experiences, not numbers.
-
They’re memorable. A good story sticks in your head far longer than a chart.
-
They humanize your brand. Customers see the people behind the business.
Apple is a classic example. People don’t buy iPhones just for features — they buy into the story of creativity, community, and identity.
How to Tell Better Stories
-
Share client success stories — real results resonate.
-
Show behind-the-scenes moments — let people see your process.
-
Frame your services as part of the client’s journey — make them the hero.
Takeaway
Facts inform, but stories inspire. If you want your brand to be remembered and chosen, weave stories into your marketing.
