From e-commerce to brick and mortar retail networks, most companies are still digital and focused on investing in their online experience. According to a survey of 160 US B2B buyers conducted by digital services company AVIONOS in 2018, 89% to 90% B2B buyers said they had increased the number of products they bought online compared to the previous year. But offline brand retail as an advantage to end-user relationships and is making a strong comeback.
Traditional Online B2C services are becoming the basis for supporting and encouraging customers to return to physical stores and developing them into long-term, loyal customers.
Therefore, for the development of the B2B platform project of the offline brand to work, typical and logical features like information structure and visual elements of the B2C website must be implemented. However, B2C sites have customized navigation experiences explicitly designed for B2C clients in advertising, promotions, order management, and aspects related to the user type. This aims to help them gain access to relevant information and features something not available on the B2B site.

Why develop an online B2B channel?
In a survey conducted by Avionos, 43% of B2B buyers said inaccurate product content is the main problem in their online shopping experience. However, b2b online channels can provide information about brands and current product lines for offline brand sales. Through this channel, buyers can also learn about the inventory of new products and repeated purchase of the same product in different sizes and colors. This platform can also continually updating the shop windows that match the brand’s promotional messages.
The process involves different areas from retail management, mail marketing, operations and the sales assistance (M & A), all of which run through the customer’s online shopping process.
