Business-to-business (B2B) marketing, also known as industrial marketing, is a unique branch of marketing that has evolved significantly since the 1980s. Originally industry-centric, it transitioned to a more business-focused approach, a shift that was formalized with the introduction of the term ‘marketing des entreprises[1]’ in the late 1990s. B2B marketing is marked by its one-to-one interactions, the engagement of professional purchasers, and intricate sales processes. Over time, the boundaries between industrial and consumer marketing have become less distinct, as many products appeal to both businesses and individual consumers. A crucial component of B2B marketing is procurement, with competitive bidding often playing a major role. Industrial marketers frequently participate in business-to-government marketing, which entails selling to government entities and competing for contracts. Strategies in this sector are typically designed to reach specific client[2] groups, and their effectiveness is commonly evaluated using metrics such as the hit rate.
