The terms B2B and B2C are short forms for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C).
Both describe the nature and selling process of goods and services.
While B2B products and services are sold from one company to another, B2C products are sold from a company to the end user.
Most B2B products are purchased by companies to be used in their own manufacturing, producing goods and services to be sold on.
The value added product can then be either sold to yet another company; or to the consumer.
Any consumer product would have gone through numerous value-add processes before it is being purchased by the final user.
Numerous suppliers from various industries would have contributed to the finished product.
For instance, a can of soft drink will require different companies to provide the can, water, sugar, other ingredients, label-printing, packaging, transportation and paint for the printing.
The can itself is made from aluminium that needs to be processed and extracted.
Only the very last transaction in the sales/ purchase chain is a true B2C relationship.
B2B brand promotion works in different formats as compared to B2C brand promotion.
Popular media like Television or Radio are often not the most preferred media used by B2B companies.
B2B companies are present where their potential customers are: Trade Shows, Exhibitions, Industry Fore, Industry Magazines, etc.
