The B2B buying process is more complex than its B2C counterpart and characterized by a multi-step buying process, longer sales cycle, and often more than one decision maker.

Best practices in B2B marketing are driven primarily by building relationships and trust between buyers and organizations. The number of communication channels have increased with the arrival of digital media, including social networks, blogs, video, email, and websites, to name but a few.
