This is the type of information from Content Crossroads could transform your ROI (return on investment) – is the secret sauce? If we know which content provides the most profit, then why not focus our resources on that? Let’s take a look at what this infographic reveals and then decide:
The most popular content is featured at the top. If you have been reading any of my past material here, you would know that popularity is not the sign of profit or ROI. Keeping that in mind:
- Twitter is the most popular according to 87% of B2B marketers
- Articles come in very close in the #2 spot (83% of B2B marketers)
- ENewsletters (78% of B2B marketers)
- Blogs (77% of B2B marketers)
What is the most “precious” content? What type of content is most valuable that we should be focusing on?
- Videos
- Research Reports
- Webinars and Virtual Events
But wait, this is interesting. Keep in mind the list above when we find out that the following content actually influences purchase decisions:
- White Papers
- Case Studies
- Videos

- Featured Articles (62.2%)
- Videos (51.9%)
- White Papers (45.6%)
