7 Tools for Building an Infographic in an Afternoon (Design Skills or Not)

7 Tools for Building an Infographic in an Afternoon (Design Skills or Not) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Infographics are such a fun and effective visual way to display information. We at Buffer have certainly used them quite a few times to share information.


There are so many tools being released every day allowing us to easily create better and better images— including infographics—to share and use in our marketing efforts.


Even folks (like me!) who never thought it possible to create one ourselves!I had a lot of fun researching and testing out a handful of different infographic makers, and I’d love to share the seven tools I liked best to easily create beautiful infographics....

Infographics are fun (and easy!) to design if you have the right tools.

The words and phrases that convert are almost always simple (Infographic)

The words and phrases that convert are almost always simple (Infographic) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

“Members only” – “limited offer” – “guaranteed” – “discover” – “check out”…


If you wonder what these terms have in common, here is the answer. Brands consider them to be top performers. They are effective because they create a sense of urgency and pique people’s interest.


The other reason why these words and phrases sell has a lot to do with their simplicity. We recognize them instantly — and are more likely to take action as a result.


Not convinced? Check out this infographic created by Uberflip. You will find an interesting list of the most persuasive terms used in marketing over the years....

Infographic: How To Get Your Content Shared

Infographic: How To Get Your Content Shared | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

If you’ve ever wondered exactly how sites like Mashable get some much social traction, this might just help give you a little insight into it, and to be honest, it’s not an art, it’s a science, knowing post by post exactly what gets the most sharability per post…


From this Infographic, you’ll see that your optimal time to post new content, is when both the US and Europe are awake, that human interest/watercooler type content is by far the most popular content to share, with Images and Video being key, but it’s value depends on the social network.

Your 2014 Digital Marketing Roadmap - Marketing Technology Blog

Your 2014 Digital Marketing Roadmap - Marketing Technology Blog | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Sometimes it’s easier to just follow the dotted line as you’re looking to ensure your digital marketing is balanced and complete. This infographic compliments of Two Legit aims to do just that, walking you through your web presence, mobile, ecommerce, outbound, inbound, content and social media marketing initiatives.+

One element lost in this infographic is the ability for all of the strategies to work with one another. For instance, utilizing your content marketing to power newsletters that are optimized for mobile devices. That’s not defined in this infographic but it’s an absolute necessity if you’d like to fully leverage email and ensure your emails are read properly. I’ve written before that the modern digital media consultant is more of a conductor, balancing the volumes of each strategy to make some sweet, sweet music!+

More often than not, we find that the key to marketing well isn’t doing everything… it’s balancing a combination of strategies, amplifying the impact by having them work together, and understanding how much of each strategy to initiate in order to maximize results. That said – this is still a great checklist to go down and ensure you’re not missing anything! This infographic also provides some statistics behind the digital marketing trends.

Social Media Best Practices for Infographics

Social Media Best Practices for Infographics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Sharing your infographic that’s hosted on your website/blog and engaging the social sharing potential is key to maximizing the work you put in to creating your infographics.  

Each social network has different image display requirements.

For example, tall infographics do not present well on Facebook. Facebook outlines horizontal images and a ratio of 1200 w x 627 h, meaning you may need to create some sharing images to drive social viewers to the main infographic.


The team at Lemonly put together a great infographic covering keys for social sharing on:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

Infographics like the above rely on a strong title for success. Just like a journalistic article, the viewer needs to be immediately engaged by the header so that they will carry on reading. Moreover, the content itself must be varied, interesting and plentiful so that readers do not come away disappointed. When done well, the visual article will thrive on social media platforms....
