Folio: recently released its B-to-B CEO survey results, chock full of data and stats from 234 B2B publishers. For your convenience, here are the most interesting stats that subscription site execs will want to know:
- Both small (<$5M) and large ($5M+) B2B publishers rely mainly on print advertising for revenues.
- However, when comparing online content, events, data sales, and print content, both large and small publishers said online content and events were the most profitable areas for them (see chart below).
- At the same time, 36% of smaller publishers and 11% of larger publishers reported zero revenue from online content (perhaps they need to start reading Subscription Site Insider?)
- Most publishers across the board plan to invest more heavily in online/e-media content in 2012, with employees being their biggest investment.
