Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Marketing encompasses strategies and campaigns directed at individual consumers rather than other businesses. It focuses on promoting products or services to the end users who will personally benefit from and make decisions about these purchases.
B2C marketing typically features shorter sales cycles simpler decision-making processes lower price points (compared to B2B) and emotional rather than purely logical appeals. Consumer marketing often emphasizes brand personality lifestyle benefits and immediate value rather than long-term ROI calculations.
