What is B2B marketing and how does it differ from B2C?

The biggest difference between B2B (business-to-business) marketing and B2C (business-to-consumer) marketing is the level of personalization and targeting.

B2C marketing in general is mass marketing, while in B2B marketing, the target audience is smaller and at times, the targeting is niche. There may be instances in B2B marketing where we only focus on the top tiers, which are the C-level executives and vice presidents.

Due to this specificity, there is a stronger emphasis on messaging and positioning. We pay close attention to the overall look, feel and quality of our assets, and there is high focus in segmentation analysis. In general, the level of personalization that takes place for B2B marketing tends to be up a level.
