When it comes to digital marketing, making information easily digestible is key. That’s why digital marketing infographics is one of the best strategies in the industry right now.
Presenting data in its raw form may bore and overwhelm your audience. Data visualization and infographic marketing transforms the audience’s perspective and makes the content more memorable!
Research shows that articles that use charts and infographics have 16% –34% more comments and shares, a 65%– 100% lift in the average time spent on the page, and the depth of scrolling rate can improve up to 317%.
Different forms of infographics can be easily placed into annual reports, white papers, eBooks, and social media posts. Some of our B2B clients like Siemens, Hitachi, and GE have done a great job creating compelling information using graphs, charts, and tables.
5 Reasons Why Digital Marketing Infographics Are Top B2B Marketing Assets
1. They Tell A Story
Adding creative, visual elements when communicating data helps to establish context and tone. Branded design elements help readers connect the information with the overarching goals of the organization that is presenting it. This helps to align your audience with the data you are presenting and the message that you are conveying. The audience will become more receptive of the story that you are telling and will process the information easily and correctly.
2. They Convey Clear Meaning
You probably put data in your content marketing efforts to establish authority and attract more readers to your website; however, text-based data demands a lot of mental labor from the audience, and can be messy and confusing. This may result in a high bounce rate and a disengaged audience!
Visuals can be added to communicate the data’s meaning without detracting from the value of the hard numbers. It also makes your content more memorable by 65%. Users will be able to easily and quickly understand both the data, as well as the meaning and implications behind it. You can use visuals to highlight what is important for your audience to understand, so they don’t get distracted by irrelevant information.
3. They Are Easy to Read
Infographic marketing makes numbers and facts easier for the reader to process. By guiding the eye through information with the use of color, imagery, and proper typography, data is presented in a way that is appealing to look at and easier to process.
There’s no doubt that infographics are the most popular visual aid for text-based articles. In fact, infographics increase the average traffic to a website by 12%, according to OneSpot. They can be used to guide users quickly though the information, making it scannable so that users can skim through and still understand the most important data. You can use visual elements to highlight what readers need to know, making it easy for them to read and understand.
4. They Build Credibility
Presenting data through thoughtful, clever, and well-designed infographics shows that your company has taken the time to consider and process the data that it has. You understand the information you are working with, so you become more credible in the eyes of your audience. Using data visually and in your content shows you have taken the time to conduct research, and that you know what you are talking about when it comes to your business and industry.
This increase in credibility leads to more conversions. Using visual engagement tactics can bring in 83% more annual revenue to a business than its competitors, says research by the Aberdeen Group.
