Reach 2025 builds on fresh insights from Informa TechTarget's latest research on content consumption and engagement preferences , which surveyed over 1,700 global enterprise technology buyers to uncover how they research, evaluate, and engage with vendors.
Key findings include:
- Early-stage engagement is critical – 78% of buyers engage with vendor marketing materials and/or content before a project is underway, yet only 24% of the vendors they start with make the final shortlist.
- Content volume and trust drive influence – Buyers consume an average of 15 content assets and visit six vendor websites when researching a technology purchase, but credibility, objectivity, and relevance are key factors when choosing an information source to trust.
- Humans remain essential in the AI era – Even as AI tools enter buyer workflows, respondents emphasized the need for expert-authored technical advice (tips, tutorials, guides), independent vendor assessments, and analyst-authored research and reports as trusted checkpoints throughout the buying research journey.
