B2B is \u2018Business to Business\u2019, sales transactions between businesses and the customer, instead of a person, is a business – such as a clothing retailer making a purchase from a clothing importer or a restaurant ordering kitchen appliances from a manufacturer.\u00a0 It is apparent that aforementioned business examples are not the same as end users or regular consumers, but they represent different levels of the supply chain.\u00a0 Furthermore, B2B transactions extend beyond tangible products, digital assets and services are also encompassed such as information analytics and data security services.<\/span><\/p>\n

B2B transactions are usually more complex and require input from various departments to reach a purchase decision.\u00a0 Hence thorough planning and preparation is essential for B2B marketing to understand the pain points, decision making process and uncover industry insights of your target audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The main advantage of these events is that the businesses can meet in person and exchange name cards, maintain their relationships and explore business opportunities.\u00a0 This form of business development is often the most intuitive and acquainted for sales representatives.\u00a0 However, the cost of attending these events can be considerable and varying depending on host and location, hence a potentially high and uncertain CPL.<\/span><\/p>\n
