As the B2B buyer journey continues to evolve, new research is shedding light on the importance of content for marketers looking to meet the demands of customers and prospects.

DemandGen recently published its “2022 B2B Buyer Behavior Survey,” and statistics suggested that the majority of B2B buyers (63%) now want easy access to relevant content marketing that is applicable to their organization while evaluating solutions. This is followed by easy access to pricing and competitive information (62%) and a demonstrated expertise around specific industry needs (56%).

Furthermore, most B2B buyers (84%) stated that winning vendors have provided content that made a significant impact on their purchasing decision in the past. However, it is worth noting that the majority of respondents (68%) say that they chose vendors in the past because of their demonstrated understanding of organizational needs.
