The Importance Of Storytelling For Charities

Being able to tell an emotive and powerful narrative is an important aspect of any marketing campaign. However, for charities, storytelling is one of the most important tools you have at your disposal.

Being able to build that emotional connection with your supporters will help you to develop long-term relationships with donors, ensuring you can support even more people in the process.

How storytelling can help

In these challenging economic times, long-term supporters have never been more important to charities. Storytelling should form a crucial part of your marketing in 2022, and adopting this approach provides a wide range of benefits:

More Memorable - Research by renowned psychologist Jerome Bruner has found that viewers are 22 times more likely to remember a fact if it was part of a story.

Higher donations - Alongside being more memorable, research has shown that storytelling helps to encourage people to donate more than simply showing statistics.

Build a closer connection - Storytelling also helps you to build closer relationships with your audience. Establishing an emotional connection encourages compassion and empathy, creating a stronger impact on the viewer.

More visible - Seeing a story come to life also makes your mission and purpose far more visible. Harnessing the power of storytelling will immediately capture the attention of viewers while also making your content more shareable across social media.
