Forrester’s B2B Survey: Web 2.0 and Customer Marketing
[Posted by Laura Ramos]
For the past 3 weeks, Forrester has sponsored a B2B marketing survey on Web 2.0 and Customer Marketing Program Trends. So far, we have received 185 responses from marketers like you. I thought you might like to see a preview of one of the more interesting findings.
When it comes to Social Media use and Web 2.0, B2B marketers I talk with usually raise the topic of blogging. They want to know "who is doing it well?" and "what benefits have they achieved?" In the survey, when we asked "Which statement BEST describes your corporate experience with blogging so far? (Please select one response)," B2B marketers told us:
Despite what most perceive as rapidly growing interest and activity around blogging as a B2B channel, over 50% of respondents don’t (yet) sponsor a corporate blog or are still setting their strategy.
What’s more: 75% don’t yet consider it a key element of their marketing mix. We have uncovered other valuable insights into online video/podcasting use, Web 2.0 benefits, and customer marketing program maturity that we are anxious to share with you.
Interesting? Sure. But I would like to know more. If you haven’t answered our survey, will you take 15 minutes out of your busy schedule today, click on the following link, and tell us about your experience?
