B2C marketing — Business-to-Consumer marketing — is the art of selling to individual consumers. It's the form of marketing most people know: Instagram ads, email campaigns from online stores, and Google ads for products.
Everything you need for great customer service — in one platform
B2C marketing encompasses all marketing activities where a company sells directly to end consumers. From a local bakery advertising on Facebook to a large online store with a million-person audience — it's all about the same thing: convincing the consumer to buy.
B2C marketing is faster, more emotional, and more impulse-driven than B2B. The decision to buy something often takes only seconds.
Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are essential for B2C. Visual content, UGC (user-generated content), and influencer collaborations work particularly well for products.
Still the highest ROI of any channel. Welcome flows, abandoned cart emails, and product recommendations based on purchase history are invaluable.
Google Shopping ads show your products directly in search results. Meta ads reach your target audience on Facebook and Instagram based on interests and behavior.
Returning customers are cheaper than new customers. Points programs, exclusive discounts for regular customers, and birthday offers increase customer loyalty.
Reach visitors who left your website with personalized ads. Retargeting has on average 10x higher CTR than regular display ads.
In B2C, customer service is also marketing. A satisfied customer shares their experience — online and offline. A bad service experience costs you not just that customer, but everyone who hears their story.
