European B2B buyers review an average of 7.2 pieces of content before purchasing (Source: McKinsey). To cut through the noise, manufacturers like Bosch Rexroth deploy video booklets that consolidate technical data, testimonials, and 3D animations. Post-campaign surveys showed a 55% reduction in prospect confusion.
Dutch firm VDL Industrial used a video brochure to pitch a €2M machinery line. The mailer included a QR code linking to a live Q&A portal. Prospects who engaged with the hybrid material were 2x more likely to attend follow-up meetings. LinkedIn data highlights that 61% of B2B buyers value suppliers who simplify decision-making with integrated media.
With trade shows still below pre-2020 attendance levels, video greeting cards are filling the gap. French automotive supplier Valeo mailed video cards with personalized messages from sales reps before virtual meetings. This tactic boosted meeting attendance rates by 37% and shortened negotiation phases by 22% (Source: Salesforce).
Video products generate 4.2x longer engagement than LinkedIn ads (Source: HubSpot).
