FROM FAQ’S TO FACTS
Recently, Optimind produced this super cool infographic on digital marketing stats. They grabbed info from Hubspot, iContact, Unbounce, Moz and other sources.
Here are the nuggets that stood out from the rest.
- Video keeps customers on websites up to two minutes longer on average
- 20% of people will read text, whereas 80% of people will watch a video of the same content
- Websites with videos are 50% more likely to appear on Google’s first page of search results
- A consumer who views a product video is 144% more likely to purchase than those without a product video
- Consumers who receive email marketing spend 83% more while shopping than those who do not.
- $44.25 for every dollar spent is the ‘average’ return on email marketing investments.
- Nexus 6 is way more fun and creative than the other guys and gals. (OK. This one didn’t make Optimind’s list but we think it’s a fact everyone should know!)
