Social media is growing at a much faster rate than we ever imaged and as a result, businesses have to learn the ins-and-outs to make it a part of their B2B marketing campaigns. The best way to achieve this is by visiting the MarketingProfs B2B Forum – although Mashable thought that they would offer some insight from a number of experts in this field.

Mashable begins by stating the obvious, that Social media marketing is often much simpler for the B2C crowd – but B2B is totally different and has to be treated as such. Businesses are not like consumers who are impulsive – they are not as social and think harder before they commit.

Jason Falls from Social Media Explorer has a great point when he says that “B2B is more P2P – people to people”, this means that buyers would rather purchase something from someone they trust – not a big branded company.

This is certainly true; businesses will now need to become more socially active with their customers if they ever hope to compete with the many other companies already implementing this new way of thinking.
