Introduction

In 2022, B2B survey respondents will be a little older and more familiar with their industry. They’ll also require more details about what you’re trying to accomplish.

B2B survey respondents in 2022

  • Respondents’ characteristics will change over time. A 2018 study of B2B survey respondents revealed that the demographic makeup of respondents is changing all the time, with some groups increasing in size and others decreasing. The people who have time to respond–and the people who feel like they have something to say–will be older on average due to how a respondent’s age affects their likelihood of responding (older people are less likely to do so). The same thing goes for gender: younger men are more likely to be contacted for surveys than older men, but this changes when you look at industries like healthcare or higher education which tend to attract mostly women.

  • Respondents’ attitudes about buying research are changing too. Results from our own survey showed us that even though 75% of B2B buyers agree that market research is important when making strategic decisions, only 50% say they actually buy research regularly (and only 25% use it daily).

Shifting attitudes about buying research

In the future, you can expect research to be more expensive. As companies become more global, your research needs will also expand. This means that you’ll need to spend more time on international travel and face greater financial costs.

You can also expect research to be more complex and personal than it has been in the past. In order for a company’s product or service to be effective, it needs to match with its target audience’s needs so that they can easily understand its value proposition—but this is easier said than done! As consumers begin asking questions about things like sustainability and transparency, businesses must find ways of answering those questions in order for their customers’ experiences with their products/services to be positive ones (and if they don’t do this, then sales could go down!).

Expect two other things: one being that technology will play an increasingly important role as well; secondly however is something related specifically towards B2B marketing schemes: there will likely be less emphasis placed on technology-based solutions due largely because these solutions usually tend not provide great ROI rates when compared against other types such as social media advertising platforms (like Facebook ads).

The rise of opt-in data collection

By 2022, opt-in data collection will be the standard for B2B survey respondents. Opt-in data is considered to be more accurate than other methods because of its targeted nature, and it’s also more expensive to gather than other methods. However, this is offset by the fact that it is less time-consuming to collect and can deliver a higher volume of responses in shorter periods of time.

The most significant benefit of using opt-in panel data collection over traditional surveying methods is that researchers can get more targeted insights into their target audience through direct communication with those individuals who they know are qualified prospects for their products or services. The process also allows them to gain insight into the buying behavior and habits of these individuals so they can better understand how best to market themselves while also having access to real-world feedback from users on how well certain products work within their businesses so they don’t waste money developing something that doesn’t solve a real problem (or create one).

B2B survey respondents in 2022 will require familiarity with their industry. They’ll also require more details about what you’re trying to accomplish.

You will have to educate your prospective customers. Your product or service will be a new concept to them, and they won’t know what it is or how it works unless you explain it in detail. They’ll also want to understand the benefits of your product or service.

One way you can provide this information is through an FAQ page on your website. Most B2B websites already have one, but it’s important that yours stands out from the others by providing useful and actionable content—not just general information about how great the company is. Include details like:

  • What are our products used for?

  • How does our company differ from competitors?

  • Who are we targeting with this campaign?

Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s clear that B2B market research will be facing a number of new challenges in 2022. They’ll need to understand their industry better than ever before and know how to reach the right people for their surveys. They’ll also need to consider opt-in data collection techniques and make sure they’re utilising them appropriately–or else risk missing out on some valuable insights!
