A lot of people started with do it yourself marketing.

More and more often people come to the agency with the positioning already done.
Sometimes the idea is not wrong, but there is an absolute lack of awareness about the storytelling.

Learn the Storytelling to sell your Brand
The storytelling is, more and more often, used by companies to communicate effectively and enthusiastically their products or services.
It is conveyed in a coordinated way on all the online and offline communication.
In the offline communication the packaging plays a fundamental role to increase the sales.
Through the Packaging Positioning, indeed, the packaging becomes the main tool to communicate the storytelling and to emphasize the positioning of the product or the brand.
The advantages of the storytelling
In saturated markets where the competition is ruthless, the storytelling remains one of the few weapons of differentiation and uniqueness that brands can use to communicate.
If you are an entrepreneur or a company on the market you know well that they can imitate or copy almost everything: the product, the patent, the format and also the packaging. But there is a thing that can’t be copy: your story.
That story speaks about the identity of your product/service and it is unique and different from the competitors. It is as crucial as the positioning.
Let’s see the main advantages of the storytelling:
- People love stories
- It allows to speak to the target in a unique way
- When behind your brand there is a story everything becomes more credible and convincing
- It serves to give coherence to the identity of the product and to emphasize the positioning
- It makes a sense of belonging to the brand, making it part of a family
- Your story (or the story of your brand) can’t be copied: it is unique
