B2B (business-to-business) marketing is marketing of products to businesses or other organizations for use in production of goods, for use in general business operations (such as office supplies), or for resale to other consumers, such as a wholesaler selling to a retailer.
It is shorthand for business to business. The products and services of the business are marketed to other businesses. Examples include advertising agencies, web hosting and graphic design services, office furniture manufacturers and landlords who lease office and retail space.
Business to business relationships are developed and ongoing, and the sales processes involved take longer than business-to-consumer relationships. B2B decision making may take place at more than one level.
For instance, the salesperson meets with the departmental manager, who then has to get approval from the business owner before the sale is closed. Emotions have no place in B2B sales.
