Every single day, visual marketing is getting stronger and bigger than we though. But there is a lot of science behind - psychological and behavior patterns that make us prone to love the visual marketing. Visual content is processed faster by our brain so when you add visuals to your content, it could generate 94% more views and combining videos, it could jump 48% more. The human brain capture more information through images and videos "understanding" the message and depending of the information and how you use this info, you could influence their decision. So visual marketing is impossible to ignore and we are addict to them thanks to Instagram and Pinterest - everybody LOVES visuals - it is easier to "understand" a message, a branding story telling, making a impact with graphics and quotes (who does not love a inspirational/motivational quote?) It is a mix of colors, images (pictures included), fonts, graphics, and don't forget the cute cats, dogs and babies that makes us spent hours and hours on front of our screens. Stats Let's read some stats that give us true information about visual content and see if it would change your mind about them. (maybe you already have changed your mind and do not need this to be another one to spend some money on visuals)
My tools Ok! I have made my mind :) Give me some tools and I will dig deep on my brain and create some fabulous content from now. My favorite one is Canva. I just love it. And it is free (can you believe it?) You can create infographics, presentation, social media images, etc. using you own photo or buying from them ($1 each - isn't crazy good?). They also have customize texts, fonts, ideas, customize sizes and standard sizes for all medias that you can imagine. Go, register and have fun! You can visit my board here as well. And all visuals here have been made on Canva. I also use Storify. It is a tool to create story and it is simple (drag and drop). You can pull together your news, create a story and starting sharing. For presentations (depend what kind it is my audience), I like Slideshare. It is easy and quick to organize a nice and professional presentation (you can share straight away in your Linkedin account). Or Google Docs and Slide - it is perfect to share and use in webinars. I love Haiku Deck for presentations as well ( it is modern and quirk). But it is not a free tool. It is very strong on visual impact - bringing a lot of big massive images - but not a lot of words. But I really think that is amazing and easy to use. See my presentation here. Quick advice? One skill necessary here is creativity. Try to find a good balance between colors and fonts. Be simple: try do not add to much information or images as well (it would make to pollute and confuse your client) Plan your info to be short and straight to the point (if not your client will be confused) Keep your branding - logo fonts and colors, some sort of same vibe on all images or connect with what you are "selling" (motivational quote? a woman smiling?) be true to yourself and your branding Need some help? Visit my boards and portfolio and contact me if you want to know more. Our basic package start with 3 images per month £ 49.00 Be fab! Candyce xx

Blogging is becoming a necessary tool on your marketing campaign because it will work in a very positive way to get your business to the top – not only on Google ranking. Let me give you some reasons for that. Blogging is an easy platform to connect with your customers, sharing relevant information and affecting massively your SEO. The most important on my opinion, it is a straight channel to communicate with your customers/world to get your point across and express yourself. Many people read blogs because they connect with those bloggers and want to hear what they say and other’s views on things and topics or an “authority” in a specific topic. Blogging is only as hard as you make it. There are so many new apps and tools that become available to bloggers to ensure that your work is going to be great. Whether they are promotion tools, or tracking tools, any of them will permit you to keep track of your blog and market it better than ever. Creating a blog is an important step and you should prepare a plan for that. It will involve generating content and preparing a schedule for posting that resonates your business and your brand. Make good choices when you are deciding what you are blogging – depending on your product or service, you would have an extra concern if you are not prepared. Customers usually recognize a brand and their voice on Social Media and it would be a smart decision if you have valuable content – and sharing on your Social Media. Another very important point is the search engine. SEO loves valuable content because bring links and traffic to your website and it will boost your search results. Using long- tail keywords and phrases that people usually use when searching is the right answer to create effective content that answered those questions and that brings the reader/customers. But why sharing on social media? Google takes social media sharing into account to rank your website. So, when you produce content and share on Facebook, Twitter and general Social Media, Google recognizes and this have an impact on your ranking. So if you have a valuable content that is shared on Social Media by others, it would generate positive traffic for you. Blogging is a good way to get ahead of the competition as well. Google is a place for fierce competition. A place where every single day thousands of websites are searched by Google that cut through all of them to focus on the best content – and with all this competition, blogging is an easy answer. As you can see, it is very important blogging. Open your laptop and start writing. However, do not forget to have a plan and a structure. Number one concern here is quality. |
