With today’s fight for attention seemingly growing every second because of the amount of messaging and the speed of life, one of the most impactful ways to get a message across is with infographics.
Well-written content is always important, but there is real power in sharing information visually for viewers to work through, share, and consume. For example, in a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researchers discovered that online users can view and connect with images in as little as 13 milliseconds. When you need to convey a complicated concept, technical data, or a large amount of information, using well-crafted infographic images to do so is a smart choice.
In case you’re not familiar with the term, an infographic is a graphic representation of information intended to present knowledge and data quickly and clearly.
But the best way to define it is to show you 🙂
Now, infographics are not new. In fact, you may be using them in your marketing currently. But that’s the very reason infographics need to be well crafted. Good ones inspire; poorly designed ones are a turnoff. Here are just some of the ways infographics can really help you:
- Quickly communicating complex information or ideas
- Giving instructions and directions
- Easily shared by others within your organization
- Increasing brand awareness
- Showing expertise and thought leadership
- Building digital traffic and increasing SEO
