B2B vs. B2C Comparison Table

 

After my recent interview with The Globe and Mail, I found myself overwhelmed with questions about the major differences between B2B (Business-to-Business) marketing and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) marketing. Since it  seems that there are a lot of myths and assumptions out there, I felt that a quick B2B vs. B2C comparison would help clarify things for everyone. Let’s first define the two terms.

Business-To-Business Marketing

This refers to the process in which an organization is targeting other organizations as potential clients. A key example of this is SAP, a B2B software corporation which offers enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations, mostly known for its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.

Business-To-Consumer Marketing

This type of endeavour refers to an organization which provides an offering aimed directly toward the consumer market. Take, for example, Spotify, a B2C audio streaming service. Spotify subscribers have access to large music libraries without the need for the subscribers to own a single track.
