B2B marketing: A little personality, please! Posted on 1. August 20199. December 2021 | by Franzi Kunz Source: pixabay What’s easy to do in B2C is hard to do in business-to-business. Excite users, create loyalty, and have them as returning shoppers. But why is that so tough? Quite simply, it’s because you can assume that people have a wall up when they come through the office entrance.
