How Buyers and Suppliers Gain from B2B Marketplace Business-to-business marketplaces, popularly known as B2B marketplaces, are changing the way we do business. These online markets have immense potential for both buyers and suppliers due to their smooth, smooth transaction processes and global reach. What is B2B Marketplace? B2B Marketplace is an Internet-based online platform where buyers and sellers can communicate and make business transactions. Buyers are not consumers; they are businesses and anyone can be. Wholesalers, retailers and other traders in specific industries. These markets act as vertical search engines. Vertical search engines contain information about a specific industry or industries. For example, the fabric B2B market will only have information about the fabric manufacturers, while the single B2B market will list only the garland makers. There are some big markets like IndiaMart.com which include
manufacturers and suppliers from various industries. Thus, the B2B market means serious business and is different from the B2C platform that connects business with consumers. Why a B2B market? A lot of research and surveys have been done on the search behavior of business and professional consumers. These studies state that when professionals use general purpose search engines such as Google and Yahoo, they do not find specific information about their job queries. Keyword-based searches can yield different results in the form of scattered information on various websites, blogs, etc. that are not necessarily useful for business purposes. In contrast, vertical searches on B2B marketplaces or B2B business directories (B2B business specific websites) provide professionals with the information they need about the business. If we take the first example of a fabric market, we can say a ribbon wholesaler from other professionals. For this, it will be very easy to find ribbon suppliers in the tight fabric B2B market. These specialized websites have at least two advantages over general search engines. In the first place, they know exactly what their target community needs and are fully aware of their needs. Second, they can make strong assumptions based on their accurate knowledge and make search activity fruitful through an expert organization of product contents.
