B2C

B2C stands for “Business to Consumer.” It refers to the transactions and interactions between businesses and individual consumers. In a B2C model, companies sell products or services directly to the end-users. This approach is characterized by the emphasis on reaching and engaging consumers through various Marketing channels, including online platforms, retail stores, and direct sales.

Examples

• E-commerce websites: Amazon and eBay, where consumers can purchase goods directly online.
• Retail stores: Walmart and Target, which sell products in physical locations.
• Subscription services: Netflix and Spotify, providing media content directly to consumers on a subscription basis.

Cases

• Fast Fashion: Brands like Zara and H&M rapidly produce trendy clothing that is sold directly to consumers, reflecting the B2C model.
• Food Delivery: Services like DoorDash and Uber Eats allow consumers to order food from local restaurants directly to their homes.
• Direct-to-Consumer Brands: Companies like Warby Parker and Dollar Shave Club bypass traditional retail channels to sell directly to consumers, enhancing customer engagement.
