What are Infographics?
Information Graphics often said as Infographics is a visual or graphical representation of data, knowledge or complex information clearly and quickly. Infographics are more than just good-looking images, they can tremendously increase brand awareness and website traffic. They are perfect for an age of huge statistics. As per Avinash Kabra “Infographics are visual shorthand to big data”.
The growth of Informational Graphics
Traditionally, email marketing was considered as ideal way of branding and promotion and is still in use. The only difference is that it has taken a u-turn. People got sucked by the long textual emails and started treating them as spam. Infographics have come to industry just about 6 months back. People have now started showing interest in these visual graphics. It was noticed by me when I found tremendous hits on my blog post which was having an infograph.
