WHAT'S THe DIFFERENCE BETWEEN B2B AnD B2C?

6/1/2016

 
I want to get these terms better.  So I looked it up.  Enjoy this post--short, simple, and sweet. Sources are listed at the end. 

B2B

It stands for business-to-business and is a business model where businesses exchange goods with each other. 
 
Examples:
  • A payroll service whose client is a corporation
  • A printing company that stocks entire companies with its printers.
  • A cloud storage company whose clients include businesses that store files through this service.
 
B2C

It stands for business-to-consumer and is a business model where businesses sell to consumers.
 
Examples:
  • An individual buys a bestselling novel from the book store, or the e-book version online.
  • A person dines at a restaurant listed in a popular restaurant guide.
  • Someone buys his or her favorite box of cereal from the grocery store.
 
Sometimes a company might sell both to businesses and to consumers.  A major coffee chain, for example, might sell coffee to people, but also, as a corporation, sells coffee to other companies to have for employees.
 
There are also other business models, C2B and C2C, but I am going to save these two for another day.
