In line with the above discussion, it should be noted that there is a present shift in the world towards a view of the benefits of collaboration as opposed to the earlier understanding of competitive buyer-seller relationship (Ford, 1990, p. 542). Indeed, if reviewed from a relatively modest start, it can be easily seen that buyer-seller collaboration and relationship marketing has come to be the most valued asset of any company in the business marketing agenda as well as real business practice. Following the past four decades in which the marketing mix view was the most dominant of marketing activities in every aspect of marketing literatures, relationship marketing has gradually established itself as an alternative view of marketing scheme (Blois, 1996).

In contrast, B2C companies are product driven. These products have to be highly in demand to the consumer market, and in order to be successful these companies have to sell the product or service in high volumes to make a profit. Therefore, the relationship between the company and the consumer is not nearly as maintained as that of a B2B company. The value of this marketing strategy is the transaction- as many as possible to cover the costs and make a profit. In a similar fashion, however, there is also the value of trust, as a consumer that trusts the company or the brand will often assist the company in increasing transactions (Murphy, 2008).
