By David Moth September 20th 2012 17:14

Once again we round up six of the best infographics we’ve seen this week.

Personal versus professional social networks: infographic

That there are significant differences between personal social networks, like Facebook, and professional social networks, like LinkedIn, seems obvious. But what are those differences exactly, and how do they manifest themselves in terms of actual usage?

To answer that question, LinkedIn turned to research firm TNS to conduct a survey of social network users and determine why they use the personal and professional social networks.

Blog Customer Experience

Five questions before you run a digital rewards promotion

There is little doubt that 2012 will see the biggest holiday season on record for online retail. With that, more and more marketers are planning digital rewards promotions for the coming rush.

Why? Digital rewards offer a compelling way to make offers stand out against the backdrop of extreme discounting. On top of that, campaign flexibility is unparalleled, and consumer response is enthusiastic.

Savvy marketers can run promotions offering customers a range of digital goods –- including iTunes, Amazon, Skype, Facebook, and so on — as incentives to purchase, to increase loyalty, for email and SMS sign-ups, referrals, and other valuable consumer actions.
