10 Ways You Can Increase Engagement with Visual Content

A key strategy in our redesign and social integrations has been a focus on visual content. Sharing quality infographics on our site has skyrocketed our reach and allows me to discuss the content in them with each share. This infographic from Canva is no different – walking someone through all of the different ways you can make visual content. And I really appreciate a key piece of advice they provide:

Visual content gives you free reign to customise your message, use different techniques and mediums to get your message across, it’s really an infinitely useful tool.

Differentiation is such a key online. As we write article after article, we have to work so hard at differentiating it from the thousands of other articles that are published every day across the web. Add one key visual, though, and the article takes on a totally new impression with your visitors. Not only that, the shareability of that article increases exponentially.
