What kinds of local stories drive engagement? The results of an NPR Facebook experiment

What kinds of local stories drive engagement? The results of an NPR Facebook experiment | Just Story It | Scoop.it
Not every story has the same capacity to connect with an audience on social media. Enter the land of Topical Buzzers, Curiosity Stimulators, and Feel-Good Smilers.
Karen Dietz's insight:

If part of your branding is connected to your local place, then are there additional kinds of stories you should be adding to your biz story mix?


Absoslutely! And here's the list based on an National Public Radio Facebook experiment. 


Now this may not be the most sophisticated research ever conducted, but frankly, we need all the help we can get generating ideas for stories for blogs, articles, presentations, and the like. So I'll take ideas where I can get them!


And before we go much further, let's ask this question: who wouldn't benefit from stories about your local geographic area into the mix???


My answer? no one. That means everyone could benefit from this post!


So can you add stories that explain more about your 'place'? How about 'curiosity stimulators' regarding your location? Or 'topical buzzers'?


There are 9 types of stories explained here in this article and I know you will get ideas from reading it.

Karen Dietz's insight:

Ooooooooh, what fun to play with!


And what a great way to tell a quick business story. I love easy and quick!


Write out the dialoge between 2 characters -- your business and a client, for example. Add some music and click play. Then watch the magic happen!


Then post it to Google+ or other places. Woo hoo!


Thanks Robin Good for finding and sharing this. Life just got easier for us biz storytellers!

This is kinda cheesy.  I hope Google improves this.
