B2C Marketing

More details

B2C marketing works with faster decision cycles, lower involvement per transaction and higher volumes. Emotional connection and brand preference play a bigger role than in B2B. Digital B2C channels are social media, SEO and email; retargeting based on purchase behaviour is a powerful conversion booster.

For example…

Zalando's B2C strategy combines TV advertising for brand awareness with a refined digital performance model: every interaction is tracked for product recommendations, dynamic ads and personalised emails. The result is a CLV-driven model in which acquisition costs are justified by predicted future value.
