What is B2C marketing?

B2C marketing encompasses the various strategies, techniques


and tools used to promote products by companies that sell directly
to consumers.

How is B2C marketing different from B2B


marketing?
Buyer personas are different.
Both types of marketing address multiple buying personas
simultaneously and build messages around brand value, but the
types of personas are very different. B2C buyers are typically the
end user of that product or service. B2B buyers, on the other hand,
are often making a purchase for a larger organization. B2B
personas can also include multiple influencers and decision-
makers, rather than a single individual.

Sales cycle lengths differ.


Consumer purchases also have far shorter sales cycles involving
comparatively less research. However, larger ticket items like
automobiles and refrigerators are often exceptions, as consumers
tend to extensively vet those kinds of purchases. Nurturing leads
isn’t as long of a process in the B2C world, although positioning the
right content at the right stage of the buyer journey is still a major
priority.
Why is B2C marketing important?
The explosion of digital platforms in recent years has fractured
traditional marketing channels. To adequately engage consumers,
brands need to navigate a wide variety of touchpoints and fine-tune
their message for each scenario and platform.

Creating and maintaining a strong brand image on digital channels


is also extremely important, giving B2C companies more
opportunities to connect with consumers and nurture brand loyalty.

Local search, SEO, brand websites and social media are all
important facets of B2C marketing, helping businesses reach
prospective customers and raise brand awareness.

What are the biggest challenges in B2C


marketing?
Modern B2C marketing is driven by data, personalizing brand
interactions and making every customer experience unique. There’s
a great deal of opportunity to boost engagement, but also plenty of
pitfalls for companies to run into.

One of the biggest concerns is addressing the privacy-


personalization paradox, in which consumers value customized
brand experiences that are tailored to their specific preferences
while also remaining skeptical of any effort to gather personal data
to drive such initiatives.
What are the top priorities for B2C
content creators?
Despite the differences between B2B and B2C marketing,
marketers in both concentrations have a few things in common
when it comes to content objectives. That includes prioritizing
content quality over quantity and delivering a meaningful message
to audiences rather than pushing a promotional agenda. According
to a 2019 Content Marketing Institute survey, 66% of B2C
marketers prioritize addressing their audience’s informational
needs.

The previous year’s survey found that the most important


factors contributing to the success of B2C content marketing
efforts included:

 Having a robust content marketing strategy in place.


 Creating high-quality content at a quick rate.
 Distributing content over targeted channels.
 Measuring the effectiveness of content marketing strategies.

How is the B2C sales experience distinct?


Consumer marketing is driven by personalized engagement
strategies.

B2C marketing involves direct customer outreach, and those efforts


are increasingly tailored to an individual’s history, activity, profile
and preferences. When done well, personalized engagement gives
customers a brand experience that’s wholly unique and provides
value beyond product quality or low costs.

For example, promotional offers can be tailored according to a site


visitor’s past activity. If they abandoned their shopping cart, the
brand can pass along a discount on that product to encourage a
purchase.

A more sophisticated example could be a supermarket chain


sending customers recipe ideas through their customer loyalty
programs based on their shopping history and user profile
information. B2C sales and marketing efforts continually work to
strengthen the relationship between brand and customer, even
inserting the brand into the individual’s day-to-day life.
