The following information on how executives respond to video content may be valuable to your business endeavors.

A recent study from eMarketer shows how often US executives watch video content, and their behavior after watching the videos.

According to the stats, 87% of those surveyed watch video content on business-related websites at least several times per month, with 55% of that number watching at least several times per week, if not daily.

Numbers for YouTube viewing are a little less, as 63% watch video content on YouTube at least several times per month, with 39% watching several times per week, if not daily.

eMarketer’s survey elaborates on the actions taken by the executives. The actions they tracked include:

-Visiting a vendor’s website

-Conducting a search for vendor/product/service for more information

-Making a business-related purchase

-Calling a vendor

-Contacting a vendor whose business-to-business ad showed up in online video

-Contacting a vendor whose business-to-business ad showed up in a YouTube video.

The <40 group of executives were slightly more apt to contact a vendor from a YouTube video than one from an online video (46% and 43% respectively).

In total, those surveyed who are <40 were typically more responsive to online video, with the 50+ executives the least active with the medium.
