Bragging Writes

Success stories make great marketing content. There’s positive emotion around a good story – we like to read them and share them. It’s a bonus that they come in many different forms: testimonials, case studies, photos of happy customers or completed work, statistics, even video.

Success stories can also be assembled in a lot of different ways. For example:

  • written by you, or by your client
  • spontaneous (such as on Twitter), or solicited
  • about your products and services, or about your business itself (for example, a 10 year anniversary)
  • short or long (useful for different purposes)
  • numerical or graphic (such as statistics)

Don’t stop at collecting testimonials. There are many more ways to tell your story.
