There's a reason storytelling works in content creation -- it's been around from the beginning of time, even before the invention of fire. Whether it's in the form of hieroglyphics painted on the canvas of a cave's wall, a play script from the gifted hands and mind of Shakespeare, or your favorite Netflix drama that you've been mindlessly binge-watching, stories have played an intricate part of our very existence. Stories are all around us, whether you realize it or not.
If you've followed along and have seen the first three parts of our Primal Storytelling series, you probably know where we're going with this: stories are a part of humans DNA and primal instincts. Knowing that, why wouldn't you use stories to speak to your guests and prospects? For it does that very thing - speaks to them!

The hospitality industry, especially hotels, has been hard hit by the pandemic. It is more important than ever to make the leap and invest in transforming your website from brochure for the property with a booking engine attached to it into a lead generation website using content marketing.
Hotels were hit hard by the coronavirus shutdowns. Many properties went from profitable to deep in the red. Once a room is empty for a night, that revenue is lost forever.
Little Red Riding Hood is a story that every child knows. A little girl, on her way to grandmother’s house, meets a stranger in the woods. The stranger turns out to be a big bad wolf and adventures ensue. It is a timeless tale that nearly every parent reads to their children.
