- Overview – to put the Barometer into context.
- Animation to draw attention to the fact that 51% (increase/much increase) are planning to invest in CAPEX. First though you can concentrate on the positivity that this chart portrays – although the red squares show the mean the increased and much increased figures (added together) are encouraging.
- Please draw attention to a 10% increase in plans to invest from a year ago. This is why the current Barometer is focussing on understanding exactly what companies are investing in and where they intend to source funds to allow them to do this.
- Note the Report that you intend to distribute says 15% BUT that relates to the responses to 2 questions: Those that have reshored in the past 12 months PLUS those that are in the process of doing so at the moment. BIS have asked us just to concentrate on the 11% figure which relates to those that have reshored in the past 12 months.

- This image demonstrates how quickly and exponentially information, advertisements, ideas, etc. can be spread by utilizing social media. It is also a great depiction of how a Youtube video can go viral, propelling its creator to fame, even it is often short lived. When applying the concept to business, it is clear how a good business idea such as Starbucks receiving customer suggestions and ideas can spread so rapidly. A good idea will spark interest and interest will lead to sharing. With so many users on sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, the sharing occurs at an incredibly fast rate.A recent example of this sort of viral phenomena is littlefriendsphoto.com a one man pet photography business in Los Angeles
- A viral spike of course is when your content gets shared and your reach in social and on the web spikes. It's when your content goes viral. And, people will share your content if (and this is a big if) you give them something worth sharing. That is the key: giving people things they will want to share. So rule number one: create content worth sharing! Give people facts, figures, memes, or photos that make them look smart or witty. (
