How to Avoid Data Analysis Disasters with Interactive PDFs

We are changing the way you think about PDF.

In pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, not everything is as exhilarating as the end-of-year profit line. PPC managers and data analysts must trawl through masses of data and figures on a regular basis.

 
The tedious aspects of the job can quickly wear you down, and once people stop paying attention, mistakes can be made.

PPCexpo has a solution. The interactive PDF reports we provide offer several benefits for modern marketers, which makes data analysis a more engaging, enjoyable experience.

Let’s tell you more.

What is an Interactive PDF?

The traditional PDF (portable document format) is still a popular choice for business reports, but it is starting to look dated in the digital world. This reality is becoming stark when PDFs are used for data analysis reports, as the flat, dull nature of the format often leaves readers with more questions than answers.

So, how can we make PDFs more engaging and easier to glean key insights from?

The answer is through interactivity. An iPDF® (interactive PDF) report can deliver information in a familiar format, but then it offers unique features and interactive elements that people can use to drill down into data.

This makes for a more visually appealing, dynamic report, which readers find to be more engaging, and more enjoyable to work with – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

7 Ways iPDF Reports are Transforming Data Analysis

So, just what can you expect when you start using iPDF reports? Truth be told, we believe that bringing this format into your business can revolutionize the way data analysis is done.

1. Report Creation is Quick and Simple

If you manually compile a report, it can be a painstaking process that is subject to errors and omissions, whereas an automated, interactive report can be created effortlessly.

This is because PPCexpo has the patented technology that can create a ready-to-use iPDF® report in just a few minutes. You can select the report you need from our library of prebuilt presentation-ready reports.

2. Easy Sharing and Collaboration

It never hurts to have a second set of eyes on key data, and important reports may need to be sent to C-Suite members. With an iPDF® report, you won’t have any troubles as these reports can be distributed on mailing lists, through email or on a file server. This encourages collaborative work, which can assure greater accuracy and quality in the report.

3. Automatic Scheduling Saves Time

By setting up automatic scheduling, your reports can be delivered via email or Google drive. This will free you up to focus on strategy or analysis, rather than spending more of your time fiddling with menial manual tasks.

4. Analytics for Everyone

Data is like the new oil. But it’s vital that you realize the true value of your data lies in the ability to decipher actionable insights from it.

Interactive PDF reports offer visualizations that facilitate a simple understanding of the data, allowing for easy summaries, and then drill-down options that provide more context and critical analysis.

This makes it easy for anyone to read the report and gain insights from the data, and therefore allows a wider appreciation of data analysis throughout your team, instead of it being limited to one or two data analysts.

5. Visualizations Offer a Better UX

The old-school PDF reports are perfunctory, without being truly memorable. In the digital age, users expect more. Interactive PDF reports deliver a more enjoyable user experience (UX), allowing people to click on objects and navigate to specific points within visualizations to examine things in greater detail.

This level of interaction and personal control makes it more interesting, which makes it more likely people will want to use the reports.

Interactive visualizations allow you to illustrate more information in less space, and they are a more powerful way of conveying information compared to text. As a result, people are more likely to retain information from their analysis of it in this style.

6. Reduce Manual Tasks

Automation is the way forward for practically every industry. Spending excessive amounts of time manually creating reports isn’t a cost-effective approach nowadays, especially when the task is repetitive, as this time would be better invested in high-value tasks.

7. Save Time and Money to Boost ROI

Adopting iPDF reports will save you time and effort, effectively augmenting your manual reporting to free up human resources. Better yet, these interactive reports will save you money, as they are more accurate and error-free than manually-created reports.

The bottom line? You can expect a greater overall return on investment (ROI) from your data analysis efforts.

Gain Power by Adding Interactive Visualizations to Your PPC Analysis

You may think it seems like a lot of effort for a fancy graphic or two. But there’s more than meets the eye with these interactive visualizations.

Done right, a cleverly-crafted visual report can condense oceans of complex data into an intuitive, easy-to-follow illustration.
