Business 2 Consumer Success Strategy

While most companies selling directly to consumers can be referred to as B2C companies, since the dotcom boom of the late 1990s, it has come represent an e-commerce model involving a financial transaction or online sale between a business and aconsumer. The demands of B2C (business to consumer) e-commerce differ significantly from those of B2B (business to business).

First, the opportunities to drive efficiencies of fulfilling and moving product in bulk that are found in traditional logistics disappear, to be replaced by direct-to-consumer orders that are one-by-one and require a pick, pack and ship operation.  Second, e-commerce sales are highly promotion driven, resulting in large swings in order volumes (even changing from day to day).  And last, online orders tend to be unpredictable, both in terms of overall volumes and product popularity (a single mention in the right social media venue can drive sales through the roof unexpectedly).  Add in the ever-changing delivery environment (e.g. Dimensional Weight Pricing, aka DIM), and a partner experienced in supporting a B2C e-commerce fulfillment lifecycle becomes a strategic necessity to make your B2C model successful.
