Your Guide to Storytelling Marketing

Storytelling is more than a business buzzword— it’s a practice that requires time and skill. You know a good story when you hear one, but how do you use narratives to grow your company and fulfill your mission? Your audience needs what you offer, they just don’t realize it yet.

In this Marketing Monday webinar, Your Guide to Small Business Storytelling, Robert Carnes, Author and Marketing Strategist, explains how to shape a clear narrative that invites your prospective and existing customers to listen and engage. Storytelling Marketing involves using a narrative to communicate a message so the consumer will be inspired to take action.

Storytelling in marketing helps consumers to understand why they should care about your brand. Stop struggling with marketing and embrace a path toward better storytelling.

When: Monday, October 19

10 - 11 AM

CHAMBER NUGGET

Chicka Elloy, Canton City Lifestyle publisher, has been involved with the Chamber for four years.

He says, "The network I have built in the Chamber has become a daily walk with friends and colleagues."

Education events and Leadership Cherokee are his favorite programs/initiatives.

He is blessed to have a fun family, and loves pouring into others through his church's men's ministry. The word he uses to describe the Chamber is "RARE" and the word for himself is "BOOM!"

Sheila Keeffe, Care and Community Pastor with His Hands Church, has been part of the Chamber for five years, and her favorite program/initiative is Leadership Cherokee. The Chamber has benefited her personally and professionally by giving her the opportunity to meet and build relationships with people that have been a big part in His Hands Church's partnership with the community. She enjoys learning from others who have the same values concerning our community and local businesses.

Sheila enjoys reading, visiting small towns, caring for her chickens, and spending time with her grandsons.
