B2B (Business-to-Business)

Definition

Marketing of products or services to other businesses and organizations.

Deep Dive

B2B, or Business-to-Business, refers to transactions or commercial relationships between two businesses, rather than between a business and an individual consumer. This encompasses a vast array of activities, including the sale of products, services, components, or software that one company needs to operate, manufacture, or enhance its own offerings. B2B marketing strategies typically focus on addressing the rational needs, operational efficiencies, and return on investment (ROI) that another business seeks.

  • 2A manufacturing company supplying raw materials or components to an automotive assembly plant
  • 3A marketing agency providing digital marketing services to other businesses looking to improve their online presence.
