The publisher of AS&U did research on how customers use buyers' guides when shopping for products and services. Here are just a few of the powerful statistics from that survey:

  • Your message receives 3x the coverage you pay for. Buyers' Guides are passed on to an average of two other people.
  • Buyers' guides spur buying actions. 74% of recipients have taken direct buying action as a result of using their industry directory.
  • Online is important. Among those using online buyers' guides, the use of online and print is equally divided.
  • Your customers refer to buyers' guides again and again. 39% at least once a month.
  • Your investment keeps working. Nearly 70% keep a buyers' guide a year or more.
  • Enhanced listings generate responses. Your customers are nearly twice as likely to respond to listings that include photos, descriptions, etc.
