What are business infographics?

Business infographics are a design method that communicates to your audience on a visual basis. If you’ve got lifeless information that you need to share with your team or clients, infographics can bring it back to life through eye-catching colour schemes, imagery and multifunctional designs. They’re best used on websites, brochures and even social media to get your point across in the easiest way possible. 

But why else are infographics such an essential form of communication?

1. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, THE EASY WAY

The first and foremost reason for using infographics is the ease of dissecting a complex subject. As you’ll probably agree, a picture is a lot more pleasant to look at as opposed to layers and layers of text. Therefore, the reader is more likely to sustain their attention on an infographic as it takes the concept of storytelling and makes it that bit more fun.

2. SHOWCASES THE RIGHT DATA

If you’ve created an infographic to showcase data, you’ll find that you can support your findings quickly and easily. You’ll have the data, compelling text to support your data and a more straightforward way of presenting said data. Therefore, you’re able to cover more complicated subjects in an enjoyable way.

3. MEMORABLE, TOO

At the end of the day, it’s scientifically proven that visual elements increase memorability, so why wouldn’t you use infographics? Especially on the subjects that are a lot more advanced. 

4. WE LIKE VISUALS

Now, let’s get factful. Did you know that 90% of all information that is transmitted to the brain is visual? Not only that, but we actually process this info 60,000 faster than text. Do we need to say more?

5. SAVES TIME

If you direct your website visitors to pages full of text, their eyes only see 20% of that information. However, that’s not a problem when it comes to infographics. An infographic allows you to skim the content faster than if you were to make your way through a page of text. This way, the reader can judge whether or not they want to read more on the topic, which is why infographics are the perfect supporting material for blogs.

6. TIME TO SHARE

When you share an infographic, it’s pretty straightforward. There’s pinning business infographics on Pinterest, sharing it on Twitter and Facebook, as well as embedding it on your website, within blogs, and anywhere else you see fit. Unlike a blog, it’s easy to increase your chances of making it go viral. It’ll end up on Google images for one, and in no time at all, you’ll be the talk of the town.

 7. REAP IN THE TRAFFIC

Not only are you engaging your readers, but with small business infographics, you’re maximising your chances of driving traffic to your website. By having it shared and third-party websites linking to it, you will boost your SEO rankings organically. It’s a win-win all around.

8. STAY ON TOP

With mobile usage surpassing any kind of connection to the internet these days, you’ll want to create mobile-friendly content. Low and behold, infographics. Usually, infographics are already built in a portrait format, perfect for scrolling on a mobile device. If your business isn’t so savvy with non-desktop devices, it is the ideal way to introduce yourself to them.

9. KEEP RELEVANT

Infographics tend to stick around for a bit. Their long shelf-life supported by SEO means that your information and business will stay relevant for longer. Making infographics the evergreen content that you’ve been striving for.
