B2B and B2C marketing

What we learned about shifting success in B2C Industry to B2B industry?

B2B and B2C marketing

Businesses consider the B2B and B2C to be completely non-related and isolated marketplaces. Business people who had succeeded in making the switch are the misnomers of our generation.

This will lead to a few pressing questions!

Can we consider the B2B and B2C to be entirely two different markets? Are they both governed by entirely different marketing tactics? Do B2B and B2C customers have entirely different mindsets? Will the success in B2B necessarily equip you to succeed in the B2C and vice versa?

Arguably, having the right answers to these questions would finally determine whether you succeed or jeopardize your business’s future. The businesses that have been successful have zeroed-in on the right answer. On the other side, some businesses end-up with inevitable negative balance sheets due to their mistakes in evaluating.

Ok, now please indulge as we go through some humblebrag.

Differences in Crafting B2B and B2C Marketing Strategy

The B2B and B2C industries are governed by entirely separate dynamics of client communication and closures. This requires you to craft messages that are engaging in those particular customer sections.

B2B marketplace has a much smaller prospect pool that needs you to close much bigger deals.

At present, both the B2B and B2C Industry requires you to stimulate 1-to-1 customer interactions.

This requires you to concisely plan for customer targeting.

Let us enumerate the most important point of differences.

  1. In the B2B marketplace, you have a largely fixed pool of customers whom you are looking to engage and convert. The B2C landscape involves you to continuously appeal to a constantly moving stream of customers.
  1. B2C marketing is focussed on creating recognition for the particular business. It can include creative advertising. The B2B marketing revolves around crafting positive logical arguments.
  1. Usually, B2B leads are much harder to generate than B2C leads. The B2B online lead generation has a much higher CPL or cost per Lead acquisition.
  1. B2B deals are more lucrative and carry a higher profit margin. The B2C deals are comparatively less competitive and come with a lesser profit margin.

With this in mind, B2B marketers require sales funnel to channel the acquired prospects towards long-term engagement and final conversion. This enables the acquired prospects to be streamlined to a single channel of conversion.

The B2C industry is focussed on converting immediate inquiries.

With this in mind, you can repeat a successful campaign for the same audience demographics. This allows you to replicate a successful campaign multiple times.
