What are the trends 2016 for online Annual Reports?

Annual reports are often considered only a legal necessity.

From the communication point of view, this is a big mistake.
For communicators, the release of an Annual Report is a real opportunity to communicate the main messages of the organisation; to speak about their successes and generate a positive wave of what was done in the previous 12 months.

In 2015, Online Annual reports are becoming common, even the organisations that publish only an online version of their annual report are seldom.
However, the printed reports still have their place, and if we look at the present trends, it does not seem that they will disappear soon.

But let’s focus on the online reports. What will be the trend for 2016?

1) More storytelling
Storytelling is the narration of the key events in an organisation life through words, sound, and images using metaphoric embellishments. Storytelling is an excellent way to carry information forward.
Stakeholders pay a better attention when you wrap your messages in a story.

2) Parallax Scrolling Annual Reports
The parallax mini-websites trend will continue to 2016, with its impressive effect at the scrolling feature of a web page. Technically speaking, the parallax effect uses multiple backgrounds that seem to move at different speed to create a sensation of depth and an interesting browsing experience. The parallax effect is very efficient when you want to convey information quickly and easily in a very structured way.

3) Single-Page Responsive Annual Reports (mobile-friendly).
Why? With web traffic moving towards mobile, it is reasonable to expect that responsiveness standard will also apply to the online annual reports.
Scrolling single-page can be an efficiently way to encapsulate the key information related to your annual report.

4) Movement and interactivity
Combining movement with more interactivity is going to produce amazing and memorable results.

With movement, Parallax scrolling, Single-page responsiveness, and, interactivity, the communication agencies have more tools than ever to build you the storytelling for your next online report.

During an event, an efficient way to keep your information up-to-date is to use a custom-made website based on a Content Management System (CMS).

A CMS is an application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface.

Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment.

With a CMS, you can easily modify your event program and the speakers profiles. But more than that you can also communicate with your attendance before, during and after the event. This continuous flow of communication allows you to give a real interactive experience to your public and create with them a strong feeling of loyalty.
