Show ≠ tell

Happy Tuesday, makers! It’s back to school day in many places across the US, and the unofficial end of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. What are your goals for this month? Let’s keep each other accountable: Share your plans with the Product Hunt community.

The traditional approach to marketing has often focused on storytelling — aka, crafting a compelling narrative around a product, service, or brand — in an attempt to connect emotionally with consumers.

While storytelling is undeniably important, the concept of "storydoing" takes it a step further by integrating the story into the customer experience itself. Essentially, storydoing is about showing, not just telling.
