When Being the Best Isn’t Enough
In today’s crowded market, having a great product or service isn’t enough to stand out. The real advantage comes from how well you communicate your value. A clear, compelling message grabs attention and inspires action. That’s where StoryBrand messaging shines. By simplifying your message and focusing on what matters most to your audience, you turn your marketing into a powerful tool that drives real results. As an Account Advisor at Good Agency, I work with our clients to craft and implement their StoryBrand Message to provide a comprehensive and effective marketing strategy. As someone who is passionate about helping good businesses grow, I want to walk you through one of the most transformative practices you can implement to improve your ROI.
The Power of Clarity
A StoryBrand message is built on seven key elements that guide customers through their journey with your brand. It starts with identifying a problem your customer cares about and positions them as the hero who can overcome it. Your brand steps in as the guide, offering the solution they need to succeed. This approach makes the message not just easy to follow but deeply relatable and engaging.
Two important parts of this framework are clear calls-to-action (CTAs) and a proven process. Clear CTAs show customers exactly what to do next, making it simple for them to connect with your brand. A proven process gives them confidence that your brand can deliver results. By focusing on the customer’s problem and showing them as the hero, these elements work together to build trust, drive action, and boost conversions.
Without the StoryBrand framework, many brands fall into the “curse of knowledge,” assuming their audience understands industry jargon or complex details. This leads to confusing messages that don’t clearly communicate value, causing potential customers to lose interest. When your message isn’t clear, it’s easy for customers to turn to competitors who communicate better.
Marketing That Makes an Impact
A strong StoryBrand message can significantly improve your ROI by focusing on three key areas:
1. Higher Conversion Rates
A clear StoryBrand message guides customers through a well-defined path, making it easy for them to understand your value and take action. By focusing on the problem your customer cares about and positioning them as the hero, you create a message that resonates and leads to higher engagement and more sales.
2. Improved Customer Retention
By consistently positioning your brand as a helpful guide who understands their needs, you build trust and loyalty. Satisfied customers are more likely to stick with your brand and recommend it to others, increasing their lifetime value.
3. Reduced Marketing Spend
A focused message makes your marketing more efficient. When you target the right audience with the right message centered on the problems they care about, you get better results with less spend, maximizing your ROI.
Waterside Poolscapes: 1,000% Increase in Conversions
Implementing StoryBrand messaging through Good Agency has led to remarkable results for many businesses, transforming their marketing efforts into powerful drivers of growth. One standout example is Waterside Poolscapes, a pool-building company based in Houston.
Before partnering with Good Agency, Waterside Poolscapes struggled with a high bounce rate and low conversion rates. Their website had a 74% bounce rate, meaning most visitors left the site without engaging further, and their conversion rate was stuck at a mere 1.09%. The company needed help standing out in a competitive market and capturing potential customers.
Good Agency stepped in and launched a new website with a clear, customer-focused message using the StoryBrand framework. The results were astonishing. In the first month after the launch, Waterside Poolscapes saw a 1,000% increase in conversions, jumping from 1.09% to an impressive 10.13%.
Steps to Implementing a StoryBrand Message
Implementing a StoryBrand message can transform your marketing, but it requires a strategic approach. Here’s how to get started, with Good Agency as your trusted partner.
