B2C (business to consumer) refers to a company selling products or services directly to individual people for personal use, such as a clothing store, a streaming service or a food-delivery app.
Why it matters
B2C relies on volume. Prices are lower, purchases are quick and emotional or convenience factors often drive decisions. That puts weight on branding, a smooth checkout, fast pages and customer support that scales to many small orders. Because margins per order are small, customer acquisition cost and repeat purchases decide whether the model is profitable. Reviews, delivery speed and easy returns also strongly influence whether shoppers buy again.
Example
An online shop sells headphones at 40 USD. A customer finds an ad, buys in three minutes and expects delivery in a week. The shop must handle thousands of such orders, each worth little, so even a small drop in conversion has a visible effect on revenue.
Common mistakes
- Copying B2B sales methods that need long conversations for low-value purchases.
- Neglecting mobile experience when most shoppers browse on phones.
- Ignoring returns and support costs when calculating margin.
