1 Know your audience

Before you design your infographic, you need to know who you are trying to reach and what you want them to do. Different audiences may have different preferences, expectations, and motivations for giving to your cause. For example, some may be more interested in facts and figures, while others may be more moved by stories and emotions. Some may be more familiar with your issue, while others may need more background and context. Some may be more responsive to direct appeals, while others may prefer subtle nudges. Knowing your audience will help you tailor your infographic to their needs and interests, and increase the chances of getting their attention and action.

2 Choose your data wisely

The data you choose to include in your infographic should be relevant, accurate, and credible. It should support your main message and goal, and highlight the problem, solution, and impact of your cause or project. It should also be easy to understand and compare, and avoid unnecessary or confusing details. You can use different types of data, such as numbers, percentages, ratios, timelines, maps, charts, graphs, or icons, depending on the purpose and format of your infographic. However, you should avoid using too much or too little data, as this can either overwhelm or underwhelm your audience. You should also cite your sources and provide links or references for further information.

Too much data is almost as bad as no data. Do not overwhelm your audience to an extent that they cannot make sense of the figures you're presenting. For whatever you're creating – be it presentations, websites, or social media posts – focus on the most striking, most important figures. Limit them to 1-3 and store the rest for a shareable report, or an appendix. Focus on those 1-3 and make them as visual and clear with your infographics as possible.

3 Use design principles

The design of your infographic should be clear, consistent, and appealing. It should follow some basic design principles, such as alignment, contrast, hierarchy, balance, and harmony. It should also use colors, fonts, shapes, and images that match your brand identity and tone, and that create an emotional connection with your audience. You should avoid using too many or too few elements, as this can either distract or bore your audience. You should also use white space, labels, captions, and headings to guide your audience through your infographic and emphasize your key points.

Don’t forget designing accessibly. This means taking into account different design factors such as font size, color contrast, and logical informational flow. This will not only help anyone with a disability (such as color vision deficiency) gain the information quickly, but it will just make for a better design overall.

While it can be tempting to add some sparkle to make a sale less is always more. Data will already be something to digest so keeping the visuals simple and to the point is the best way to showcase your story. Also keeping in mind the phycology of color can be affective.

4 Include a call to action

The ultimate goal of your infographic is to inspire your audience to take action and support your cause or project. Therefore, you should include a clear and compelling call to action at the end of your infographic, or throughout if appropriate. A call to action can be a button, a link, a QR code, a hashtag, or a phrase that tells your audience what you want them to do next, such as donate, share, sign up, volunteer, or learn more. You should make your call to action visible, easy, and urgent, and provide incentives or benefits for taking action.

5 Test and optimize

Before you publish or distribute your infographic, you should test it with a sample of your target audience and get feedback on its effectiveness and appeal. You should ask them questions such as: Did they understand your message and goal? Did they find your data and design interesting and trustworthy? Did they feel motivated and empowered to take action? Did they encounter any problems or challenges in viewing or accessing your infographic? Based on their responses, you should optimize your infographic and make any necessary changes or improvements. You should also monitor and measure the performance of your infographic and track its impact on your fundraising goals and outcomes.

Leverage storytelling: Infographics serve as visual narratives, and storytelling is the key to fundraising. Keep the message simple and focused, highlight your impact, and answer the "why now" for your audience.
