Introduction to business-to-business marketing
Producers are companies that purchase goods and services that they transform into
other products and/or services. They include both manufacturers and service
providers. Resellers are companies that sell goods and services produced by other
firms without materially changing them. They include wholesalers, brokers, and
retailers.
Categories of B2B customers include resellers that are wholesalers, retailers, and
brokers that sell goods and services manufactured by other companies without making
changes to the product. Resellers play a vital role in both the retail and wider economy,
where they serve as the link between manufacturers and the consumer. Resellers are
in the market to sell for a profit, but they also help distribute merchandise, provide
storage and identify customer preferences.
A reseller buys products with the objective of selling them later at a higher price.
Resellers purchase the goods and services from manufacturers in bulk, so they
typically receive discounts. Resellers then connect manufacturers and consumers
through the act of reselling, bringing goods and services to end users. These
professionals save manufacturers the cost of marketing and selling their products,
helping to save their time, money and effort.
