B2B Marketing
Business to Business marketing (B2B) refers to any marketing strategies that are aimed at reaching other businesses. B2B marketing managers are responsible for developing and executing strategies and driving sales from another business back to your business.
B2B Marketing Roles
B2B marketing allows for other businesses to know and understand your brand and convert them into customers and make purchases directly through them. Some examples of B2B companies and how they work include:
- A marketing software that sells social media management tools
- An organisation that leases office space to businesses
- A large-scale printing service that prints solely for businesses
B2B marketing is different to businesses that sell to consumers (B2C/DTC/D2C) as B2B focuses on selling directly to other businesses whereas B2C/DTC focus on selling directly to the consumer. Examples of B2B businesses include the likes of Microsoft, Cisco and FedEx.
