Generate New Infographic Content with Statistics

Leverage Statistics to Generate New Infographic Content

Stuck for content ideas? Numbers and visuals can often be a good place to start.

The use of visualized information has increased 9,900% on the internet since 2007

It’s no secret that audiences respond well to both statistics and visuals.

90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.

When you combine stats or numbers into an information graphic it’s a potent combination that can draw real attention for your business.

An infographic is 30 times more likely to be read than a text article.

Information graphics often feature a strategic arrangement of icons, illustrations, numbers, and copy to help you communicate a large amount of information in a small space.

65% of senior marketing executives believe that visual assets are core to how their brand story is communicated.

But you can also create – or source – illustrations that can be customized along with a given statistic. “… sometimes it takes a clever combination of words and pictures to tell a story quickly, concisely and in an entertaining fashion.” —Creative Blow

Researchers found that color visuals increase the willingness to read by 80%.

“Infographics” have certainly become popular across the web for content marketing, article support, gated content, and SEO efforts.

40% of people will respond better to visual information than plain text.

Why have infographics and illustrations become so popular? Facts and statistics that might be less than exciting within a longer article can suddenly be made much more interesting when represented visually.

Because the data can be “seen” rather than just “read” it becomes more compelling and requires less commitment on the part of the reader. “… people love facts, figures and statistics. Add some compelling images and graphics and …”voila“, you have addictive content!” —Jeff Bullas

Photos get 84% more click-throughs on Facebook.
