Marketing retailers need to find ways to provide relevant content to their clients in effective ways. Salesforce Marketing Cloud provides a complete service to improve your marketing relationships with your customers. Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a provider of digital marketing, automation and analytic software and services. It is used to customise emails, using an Al-powered personal approach and creates a comprehensive perspective of each customer by managing B2B or B2C relationships
B2B is the acronym for Business to Business which is the relationship whereby businesses provide goods or services to other businesses. B2C on the other hand is the acronym for Business to Consumer in which businesses provide goods or services to individuals.
It is obviously apparent then that if you run a B2B business your focus will be on marketing and selling directly to businesses whereas if your business is B2C your focus will be marketing and selling directly to consumers. Either way the essential steps for a successful marketing strategy are –
