What, if any, differences in behavior between B2B customers and B2C customers do your chosen examples of marketing material suggest?
Drawing on concepts from Block 5 and elsewhere in the module as appropriate, come to a reasoned conclusion on to what extent marketing to business customers should be different from marketing to consumers buying for themselves and their families.
