In today’s attention economy, everyone wants information delivered at a glance, in a consumable format. Consumers are used to instant gratification right from the phone in their purse or pocket, and they want the answer visually.
At Living Abroad, we’ve long considered how we can bridge what we do best –thoughtfully curated, in-depth, expertly-researched relocation reports — with a need to make our content approachable in a way modern users expect.
While you won’t find us dancing on TikTok as we answer relocation questions, we now have an additional resource that creates a bridge to our deeper report content: Quick Guides.
These friendly, eight-page illustrated pdf guides provide highlights from the major topics of our content library: key facts such as the population and major cities, need-to-know information on living conditions including local health care and waste management, an overview of the business style, information on the social scene and how locals spend their leisure time, briefs on transportation, housing, and schools, and vital information on local phone and internet providers.
The Quick Guides also include helpful additional links such as local weather and business resources and guidance on where to find deeper information on the topic in the full reports.
Quick Guides are currently available on the home page of 18 destinations, including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Singapore, and the UAE, with more being added regularly. While they can’t replace the destination reports (to compare, a full-report PDF created with our “Create My Report” tool is 70+ pages!), they provide a fun overview, a less-intimidating guide to pass to any family members who want to know a little about their new home, and hopefully a taste of a new country that will leave the assignee hungry for more.
