10 Reasons Why Storytelling Rocks

Stories deliver information, connect people on an emotional level and build community.
Most of the people (esp in Community-centric cultures) prefer to share inspiring success stories and prefer building brands as more of a byproduct rather than promote themselves directly.
People feel comfortable with stories as they are full of depth and meaning. No wonder stories often end with the 'moral of the story'.
Stories stay in our mind or memory and also help us attract more customers .
Stories entertain. Twists and turns make stories all the more interesting and entertaining.

Storytelling is also edutainment or "Education + Entertainment" Stories are all about the spirit of caring (inspiring) and sharing
(experiences & lessons) If storytelling is used to inspire others and build our brand/reputation
too in the process, it becomes a good example of enlightened self-interest. Both the storyteller and audience benefit in the process.
Stories are the most powerful way of building brands, be it personal, organisations or products.
Every life has a story and every story must be brought to life (when it is put in words, audio or video, the story comes to life.)
