Business-to-Consumer (B2C)
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) refers to the process in which businesses sell products or services directly to individual consumers.
Description
In the digital marketing industry, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) focuses on strategies and tactics that businesses use to reach individual customers through online platforms. This can include social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), email marketing, and paid advertising. The aim is to capture the attention of potential buyers, engage them with compelling content, and convert them into paying customers. Unlike Business-to-Business (B2B) models, B2C marketing typically involves shorter sales cycles and more emotional buying decisions.
