                                        DEFINITION & DESCRIPTION

Industrial marketing "is the practice of organizations, including commercial businesses, governments and institutions, facilitating the sale of their products or services to other compa-nies or organizations that in turn resell them, use them as components in products or services they offer, or use them to support their operations.

Also known as business marketing, industrial marketing is also called business-to-business marketing,
b-to-b marketing, or B2B for short.
 
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                                             
  Industrial Marketing vs. Consumer Marketing

Although on the surface the differences between business and consumer marketing may seem obvious, there are more subtle distinctions between the two with substantial ramifications. Dwyer and Tanner (2006) note that business marketing generally entails shorter and more direct channels of distribution.

While consumer marketing is aimed at large demographic groups through mass media and retailers, the negotiation process between the buyer and seller is more personal in business marketing. According to Hutt and Speh (2001), most business marketers commit only a small part of their promotional budgets to advertising, and that is usually through direct mail efforts and trade journals. While that advertising is limited, it often helps the business marketer set up successful sales calls."*
