Communicating service quality: are business-to-business ads different?
Article Abstract:
Business-to-business ads are significantly different from advertisements aimed at customers in their inability to provoke the interest of their target audience. Business-to-business ads often eschew creativity in favor of simple, and often dull concepts to sell their products. However, advertisers cannot rely on suggestions of quality to guarantee the success of their ads. They should tap into the emotional sides of their audiences instead of relying too much on a plethora of information in their ads.

The framework considers the risk entailed in the use of professional services and the potential for uncertainty in their results. The ability of risk-based segmentation to determine risk factors can prove to be an invaluable tool for vendors and clients of organizational professional services.
