    Video Is the Definitive Sales Driver, Survey Reveals

    If you are wondering how the various content formats have been performing lately, rest assured: video keeps dominating the digital landscape. The report from a recent survey of 300 enterprise-level B2B buyers on how they use video to inform purchasing decisions provides the latest evidence. 

    Researchers from Brightcove in partnership with Ascend2 polled over 300 B2B decision-makers in organizations generating more than $50 million in revenue across key markets. Take a deeper dive into selected highlights from the survey findings to supercharge your B2B video marketing with valuable insights:  

    • Video aids conversion. 95% of B2B buyers say video plays an important role in deciding to move forward with a purchase. 
    • Video cuts through top-of-the-funnel noise. According to 70% of respondents, video is the best content format for creating awareness of business-related problems. 88% of B2B buyers surveyed have watched videos to learn about a company’s products or services in the last three months.
    • Video is helpful in a number of ways. 58% of B2B buyers turn to video to learn more about products and services they’re considering, 40% – to learn how to solve a problem, while 36% rely on video to better understand a problem they’re having.
    • Video is the most impactful content format throughout the entire journey. 70% of respondents agree that video makes the most impact over other content formats beating research reports, webinars, infographics, books, and whitepapers in creating awareness of business challenges.
    • Video builds trust and facilitates sales communication. 93% of B2B buyers say that video is important in building trust in a company’s ability to deliver on its promises, while 97% of recent video viewers say that they would be more receptive to sales communication from a business after consuming their video content.
    • Video is preferred over written content. B2B buyers prefer video over written content when learning about a business, product or service, as well as when being introduced to sales representatives and in their post-purchase journey during troubleshooting and training.
    • Video makes things easier and more interesting. The survey proves that video is a helpful format for making complex topics more interesting and easier to understand, as well. In fact, 81% of respondents say they prefer to see an explanation of a complex product or service in video format.
    • Video quality matters. For 55% of all respondents, speed/load time matters most when it comes to business-related videos. More than half (52%) of B2B buyers say that interactivity features such as links to other content matter most to them when it comes to elements included in the video. In fact, decision-makers value interactivity features nearly as much as they value speed and load time (55%).

    The above findings are just a few of the reasons why B2B buyers consider video the content format that packs the biggest punch, preferring it over other forms of content, according to the survey.
