The formal definition of an intro is a brief introductory passage. What is important is that you get the story right; it needs to encapsulate the essence or spirit of your overall point, try communicating through example. Capturing the essence is not enough; if nobody reads far enough to grasp the main point of the story then its purpose is lost.
If you have decided to write the intro, make sure that it is brief. Write a headline corresponding to the intro content because readers expect that the headline should reflect what is mentioned in the content below it. Your reader is not going to be spending much time on the intro when it talks about sports when the headline says vacations.
Okay, so you have completed the intro and this intro captures the essence of the story in every sense. However, before you consider this as your final copy, you have to check if the intro is really short enough, so that the reader won't lose patience till the content comes to the point you are bringing across?
The piece above contains an intro that's quite short. This kind of intro has the potential to work very well as long as the reader knows what they are reading. Readers know what the article is going to tell them in broad terms and so they know what to look-out for within the story.
In short, if you give an introduction that is really long, but which has not connection to the headline, you could be putting down your story like nothing else and this really spoils a good story.
Another point is when you use anecdotes. You should let your reader know before-hand how your anecdote relates to your topic before you tell it to them, else the reader will leave out your topic, even before you begin to elaborate your point.
In short, what is necessary is using less words in bring out a perfect story essence. The aim of an introduction is to out forth your subject in a broader and more general sense.
If you want to do this right, you have to think about your intro in a broader sense and include those details which bring this out and leave out those that don't. So, if you have extra details such as dates, names, descriptions and diversions but which are not really necessary for the essence of the anecdote, do not mention them as they will only distract the reader.
