storytelling
Storytelling describes the activity of sharing stories. Stories help to capture interest and hold people’s attention – if they are short and easy to understand. Storytelling has long been used in marketing, journalism and education. Associations can use success stories, stories of overcoming challenges or just funny experiences to illustrate their core messages and values, to appeal to new members and to promote loyalty among existing members. Stories can be told with words and images on a website, in social media and flyers, at the general meeting, during excursions or other meetings.
