>All about Marketing by Romi Chugh Ep#4 - B2B Marketing 💼
What is B2B Marketing?
B2B or business-to-business marketing refers to the marketing of products or services to other businesses and organizations. B2B marketing techniques rely on the same basic principles as consumer marketing but are executed in a unique way. While consumers choose products based not only on price but on popularity, status, and other emotional triggers, B2B buyers make decisions on price and profit potential alone.
At its core, B2B marketing involves building valuable relationships to guarantee lasting customers — an important goal for any company.
Romi Chugh is an experienced business leader, and the founder of SpareIt, the largest B2B automotive aftermarket platform in India. His passion is for design, brand, and marketing. His experience includes -
Marketing & Branding for Guns N Roses India tour 2012
Marketing & Branding ‘Indian Aces’ - tennis team (part of Mahesh Bhupathi’s IPTL)
Marketing & Branding for large international hotel chains in the Maldives
