Editor's Notes

Hi Everybody! I'm Dinah from Easelly! And I'm a customer success trainer intro.....
With today’s technology, you probably have more data at your finger tips about your business, your industry, and your competition than ever before. If you're actively collecting big data or any data about your business or for your business, then you already know that it can help you make better decisions and grow your business.
So today, I want to take some time to discuss how you can use this data beyond decision making and how you can use SOME of it as a powerful marketing tool!

We'll discuss the essential elements of an infographic data story
I'll provide some examples or ideas for using your data in an infographic to meet your business goals
And I'll guide you through some easy ways to storyboard your data for an infographic that you can pass along to your designer or a designer your higher to do the work.
After today's webinar, you'll receive a free infographic storyboard template to get you started! :)

Again, I'll be focusing on using this data for infographics that can be shared easily on your website, blog, emails, print materials or even social media channels, but you'll find that what we cover can certainly be applied to other marketing mediums such as video content!
Why?

I’m sure you have a ton of great sales data, website analytics, survey data, or even user data, but for marketing purposes, you don't want to do a data dump. While you might think all that data is fascinating to comb through and analyze, your customers and employees won’t think so.
Why do infographics work?
Humanizes data by telling a story that people can connect with
Offers the opportunity to deliver a clear message or conclusion from the data
Highlights information you want people to notice on charts and graphs
Summarizes “need to know” data
Gateway for people to get the big picture and then dive into the data if they need to
Always remember that humans are SOCIAL BEINGS and we connect through socializing and telling stories. And your data should have a story or message behind it! Putting your data into an infographic can humanize your data and will give your audience a real context that they can connect with!
So, what do you need for an infographic data story?

No one will be able to tell that story better than you as the business owner.
Message/purpose/goal

You also need a message!
What purpose does this message serve?
Does it support your business goals?

Infographic data stories should be created for a specific audience and purpose
You may need a story that helps your employees see and feel a customer's perspective more clearly based on sales or survey data.
Or you may need a story that helps investors see and feel why your business strategy has been successful now and why it will be in the future.
Or perhaps your goal is to show potential customers what their missing out on based on what your current customers are enjoying from your business!
To be effective, your infographic data story will need to be crafted to make a point to a specific audience.
A minimum of 1 data point. Yes, you can have as little as 1 data point!
Once you know what your message is and you have all the data you need to support you
Introduction (attention grabbing) beginning
Supporting data that tells your story argument – middle
Conclusion -end (what do you want your reader now do with this new information)
Call to Action logo website contact information What do you want your reader to do next?
Data source(s)
message/purpose/goal

An infographic data story requires a Beginning, Middle, and End. It can be as simple as narrating a sequence of events or it can be as complex as showing different scenarios that may reach the same or different conclusions. But there should always be a natural beginning middle and end.

"The following infographic examples show how companies have both grasped the art of recycling data into an infographic to enhance the service they deliver."

Boring data will become a boring infographic. Find data that is intriguing and supports an interesting story you are trying to tell.
All good stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Infographics deserve the same treatment. The beginning should introduce the problem by simply explaining something the reader may not know. From there, back it up with data, remembering that data needs context to make sense. End with your point of view, so the reader walks away understanding the data and the story you told.
This example shows how Kohl's have both grasped the art of recycling data into an infographic to promote a service they deliver."
