5 Reasons for Using Infographics in Digital Marketing

Attractive and Compelling:
No one likes to read long texts or boring stories. People prefer interesting facts, convincing content and statistical facts and figures. If an infographic is designed well, with the use of the right combination of statistics and images, it certainly helps in attracting a lot of traffic. The reason is simple – 50% of what we see is actually used for visual processing.

Viral Ability:
What do you often share on social media websites? Unusual photographs and interesting, humorous facts or data are shared the most in social media. Thus, an engaging infographic with exciting content is usually shared the most. As these are shared many times in such social media platform their reach widens and they help in attracting more traffic to the website.

Searchable:
People usually search for infographics, especially when it is something related to which they are interested. Search engines are known to prioritize the infographics when picking the results.

Increases Traffic:
Infographics have a potential to reach out to more than 15 million users all over the world. To make your infographic effective, you need to first find a topic which interests people and have it well designed. You will certainly be able to reach out to a number of people.

There are usually two ways by which infographics are able to draw website visitors:

  • Web Search – Users might be searching on the specific topic of your infographic. If you have a well-designed infographic on the topic, you will definitely get the desired topic. People, who are searching on the specific topic, will come across your created infographic.
  • Social Media – Infographics tend to get more than interaction on social media channels. Especially if they are eye-catching and/or compelling. People are likely to share an infographic on social media because of the way information is conveyed (both with visuals & text) – hence the power of an infographic tends to be higher than simply text.

Increases Brand Awareness:
Infographics help in increasing brand awareness of a company. These are a good way to combine the magical power of subtle branding and creating a massive awareness. The use of subtle branding technique with the use of a refined logo placement or an interesting blend of colors and graphics, help to reach out to your readers, about information related to your brand, without shouting out loud. This type of publicity is usually known to linger more than any full-page placement of the logo.

NOTE: To ensure the success of an infographic, it needs to have an interesting theme, a natural blend of colors and useful information, which will draw the interest of visitors to read more.
