Infographic: The Hotel Price Index for #us and #canadian tourists http://t.co/itMRNill
Twice-a-year, Hotels.com updates their Hotel Price Index , and this year I was contacted to design some new infographics to go along with the report. InfoNewt worked with designer Jeremy Yingling to create two infographics for the current set of data from the first half of 2011. Since the research is global, we created one infographic based on American travelers and one based on Canadian travellers . The research is extensive, so we had to keep the information shared in the infographics fairly focused on only a few categories. This keeps the design clean and easy to read, but also whets the reader’s appetite for more. We varied the visual designs for each category.

Marketers using social media have tried to foster this type of earned media and other brand interactions, but a comparison of the study results with previous research, from October 2009, shows little change in consumers’ brand-oriented behavior. On Twitter, significant percentages of users who had connected with a brand would recommend, discuss or purchase from the company, but those numbers inched slightly downward over six months. On Facebook, users had similarly static opinions on the usefulness of social media to connect with brands.
