You can use feature stories to promote your business by writing about:

People:

Case studies focusing on individuals are a highly-effective way to promote a particular expertise or interest. Personal profiles and human interest narratives are powerful tools for engaging your reader while selling your message.

Organisations:

Profiles that focus on the history and background of specific organisations can humanise an otherwise faceless entity. It can prove the main point of difference that makes it memorable in a competitive market.

Issues:

Focusing on issues relevant to a specific organisation or business can be effective in generating interest, even more so if the issue can be related to a newsworthy topic in the broader community. Background features also work well in providing perspective on a topical issue.
