Secrets of successful B-to-B advertising
Article Abstract:
Business-to-business advertising differs from consumer marketing despite sharing the same techniques. Unlike consumer marketing, job function segmentation is needed in business-to-business advertising because persons with different job functions have different reasons for buying a product. A business-like tone of voice tempered with good humor is required in business-to-business advertising. Aside from having larger budgets, business-to-business products are more expensive than consumer products.
