Ownstory helps businesses create meaningful connections by turning customer experiences into beautiful shared stories. Gift retailers can offer story creation as a premium service, restaurants can compile memorable dining experiences, real estate agents can document home-buying journeys, and freelancers can showcase client testimonials in an engaging format. These collaborative stories become powerful marketing tools that build emotional connections with your brand.
Creating a business story is simple! Sign up for an Ownstory account, choose 'Create New Story,' and select a template that fits your business needs. Add your opening contentβ€”photos, text, or videos that set the scene. Then invite customers, clients, or team members to contribute by sharing the story link. You can guide contributions with prompts and customize the story's appearance to match your brand.
You control who contributes to your story. Invite customers via email, social media, or by sharing a link. Contributors don't need Ownstory accountsβ€”they can easily add photos, videos, text, and voice messages directly through the shared link. As the story creator, you can moderate contributions, add prompts to guide responses, and arrange content to tell your brand's story perfectly.
Absolutely! Ownstory offers extensive customization options for businesses. Choose from various layouts and themes, upload your logo, select brand colors, and add custom fonts. You can also create branded templates for consistent storytelling across different campaigns or client projects. The final story reflects your professional brand while showcasing authentic customer experiences.
Your completed story can be shared as a beautiful digital keepsake via link, embedded on your website, or downloaded as a PDF. You control privacy settingsβ€”stories can be public for marketing purposes, private for internal use, or password-protected for exclusive client access. Perfect for showcasing customer testimonials, documenting project journeys, or creating premium branded experiences.
Yes! There's no limit to how many stories you can create. Many businesses run multiple campaigns simultaneouslyβ€”a restaurant might have separate stories for special events, seasonal menus, and customer anniversaries. Real estate agents create individual stories for each property sale, while freelancers maintain ongoing project portfolios. Each story is completely separate and customizable for its specific purpose.
