Business and Consumer Marketing Differs In ***
1. Nature of their markets
2. Market demand
3. Buyer behavior
4. Buyer-seller relationship
5. Environmental influences (competition,
political, legal) and
6. Market strategy
Due to these differences, business marketers need
to understand how demand for industrial products
and services differs from consumer demand.
13
Business Market
Demand Characteristics*
Derived demand
14
Derived Demand
The demand for business products is called
derived demand because the demand for
industrial products is derived from the ultimate
demand for consumer products.
15
Fluctuating Demand
Because demand is derived, an increase or decrease in
consumer demand can create a fluctuating demand for
many industrial products.
Example:
An increase in loan rates can quickly stifle new home
sales. This slows down the need for new household
products. Businesses react by decreasing their inventory of
materials or putting off buying new machinery.
16
Stimulating Demand
Sometimes, business marketers need to stimulate
demand for consumer goods which either
incorporate their products or are used to make
consumer products.
17
Inelastic Demand
• Inelastic demand is demand without
regard to price. An increase or decrease
in the product price will not significantly
affect the demand for the product.
18
Global Market Perspective
Marketers must have a global perspective:
Enormous growth in developing countries
such as Brazil, China, Russia, and South
Africa offer huge opportunities for both large
and small businesses

customers is the heart of business

Managing Relationships in the Supply
Chain
As important as it is to gain customers, it is
just as important for manufacturers to
develop strong relationships with suppliers.
Companies such as IBM and Toyota develop
strategies to create suppliers who provide
new ideas and who are loyal.
