B2B and B2C Marketers Can Learn From Each Other

Resource: by Brian Wool, The ClickZ Network

Anyone who's worked in marketing for a week knows there's a difference between the strategies and tactics for business-to-consumer (B2C) and those for business-to-business (B2B) online advertising. Yet in some ways, they're more alike than they are different.

From a 30,000-foot view, the objectives are identical: drive sales. Once you cut below the clouds, of course, the means to drive sales can be very different, primarily because the audiences are so different.

Look at the recent $345 million acquisition of Business.com by R.H. Donnelley. For over 100 years, R.H. Donnelley has been a formidable channel for the B2C marketing channel in both on-and offline markets. Why, then, the big investment in B2B?

It was noted Business.com had a well-oiled performance-based marketing network that the mainstay will be able to leverage quickly. But that's not the big picture.

TMZ.Com Launches New Celeb Site...

TMZ.com has launched StarVsStar.com, a celebrity-oriented take on fantasy sports team websites. Players join teams, assemble a roster of celebs and face off against other teams, with points given weekly based on celebrity coverage in the media (including TMZ). The site also offers star game cards, message boards and a weekly video webcast.

The term "fantasy sport" has always been a bit of a misnomer. It's never been about pretending to be a football or baseball general manager; the closer parallel is gambling. By choosing an athlete for your team, you're hoping — betting — that he will perform well.

For a celebrity, though, performing "well" is a different ballgame.

On Wednesday, TMZ.com expanded beyond its now ubiquitous entertainment and celebrity reporting and into the fantasy fray with the newly unveiled Web site http://www.StarVsStar.com.
