Infographics seem to be getting more and more popular lately. They’re certainly fun to look at,

and they convey useful information in a format that’s fast and easy to digest. One thing to keep

in mind with infographics is that they’re generally static—unlike blog posts, they’re rarely

updated as new information becomes available.

To help you get your 2014 marketing strategy off to a great start, we’ve rounded up 10

infographics with useful stats, information and suggestions about online marketing.

1. 20 Captivating Marketing Statistics that will Drive 2014This infographic from WebDAM (http://www.webdamsolutions.com/2014-marketing-statistics-

infographic/) looks ahead to 2014 to explore the trends and changes we can expect. One

statistic that really surprised me was about the growth of internet advertising: by 2015, this will

make up almost 25% of the entire ad market.

2. Email CheatsheetMarketo (http://blog.marketo.com/blog/2013/10/email-marketing-cheat-sheet-infographic.html)‘s

email marketing infographic has some really interesting stats, including how the time you send

an email affects the open rate. One that jumped out at me was that 75% of smartphone

owners say they are highly likely to delete emails they can’t read on their phones.

4. Tumblr Numbers: The Rapid Rise of Social BloggingIn case you thought social blogging was dying, this Mashable

(http://mashable.com/2011/11/14/tumblr-infographic/) infographic will clear things up. An

interesting point about Tumblr’s userbase is that the demographics are almost evenly split

between male and female users.

5. Infographic: The Lifecycle of a Web Page onStumbleUponStumbleUpon has been around for a while, but I didn’t know that much about how it worked.

This infographic from Column Five Media (http://www.columnfivemedia.com/work-

items/infographic-the-lifecycle-of-a-web-page-on-stumbleupon) breaks down the lifecycle of a

web page on the service and sheds light on some interesting stats. For instance, 51 pages

are added to StumbleUpon every minute . That’s a lot of content.

6. The Ridiculously Exhaustive Social Media DimensionsBlueprintThis infographic from Tent Social (http://tentsocial.com/blog/bid/267887/The-Ridiculously-

Exhaustive-Social-Media-Dimensions-Blueprint-INFOGRAPHIC) is a more practical one which

will hopefully come in handy for your marketing efforts in 2014. It includes details on the

dimensions recommended (or required) for images and videos on each social network. And it’s

being constantly updated, so it’s a good one to save as a reference.

7. Geosocial Universe 3.0Geosocial isn’t quite on the tips of our tongues these days like it once was, but it’s still a big

part of how we use social media—particularly from our mobile devices. This JESS3

(http://www.jess3.com/) infographic explores the Geosocial Universe and looks at what services

are popular and growing, and what percentage of their users are on mobile.

9. Blogging statisticsSome of the most interesting stats about how the blogosphere operates and more interestingly,

how much money the biggest blogs generate every year. Here’re some great tips to get your

blogging up to date:
