Happy Halloween from all of us at Tell Your Story! 🎃

We’re getting in the spirit by sharing a few of our favorite costume memories:

𓀾 Steph Klaers remembers the 1991 Minnesota Halloween Blizzard: “I was a mummy. My mom spent hours wrapping me in various cloths, all for them to become soaking wet, frozen, and unraveled within an hour.”

🗽 Karen Rafeedie: “I was the Statue of Liberty. All homemade. The torch was a flashlight. And the book was a box to hold the treats.”

🤖 Kira Perdue: “The good ‘ol plastic mask and plastic ‘shirt’ the year I was R2D2 remains a favorite. Classic 70s costume that would probably be illegal today for suffocation risk.”

Now it’s your turn, what’s your most memorable Halloween costume? Share in the comments!

Traditional SEO techniques once guaranteed visibility, but search has changed. AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity now deliver direct answers, often summarizing information and crediting sources, rather than simply listing links.

To stay visible, your content must be designed in a way that allows AI systems to process, extract, and cite it easily.

That’s where an AI-optimized content strategy comes in, built on both smart technical setup and strategic content creation. Read on: https://www.tellyourstoryinc.com/blog/how-to-get-your-content-cited-in-ai-search-results/

Organic reach has been continually declining across platforms, and for 2025, it's more clear than ever that brands can't rely on it.

On average, Facebook posts reach only 1-2% of your followers, while Instagram posts reach approximately 3.5%. So, even if you've accumulated a massive number of followers, only a very minor portion of your audience will ever see it.
