What is B2C e-commerce What are some benefits of B2C e-commerce for consumers and for marketers What are the limitations of B2C e-commerce?

B2C e-commerce is a business-to-consumer type of e-commerce where a consumer in the general public can simply purchase a product or a service that is advertised on a catalogue placed on a website. These catalogues also make use of shopping cart software that allows you to place a number of items in one place before making an order.SecurityConsumer concerns about the security of eCommerce pose a serious limitation to eCommerce. As much as someone may refuse to purchase a car with a poor safety track record, a person may refuse to engage in a form of commerce they do not trust. Such lack of trust does not come from nowhere. The 2012 Norton Cybercrime Report indicates that, in 2011, consumer cybercrime cost $21 billion in the United States alone and impacted over 556 million people globally. Until perceptions regarding eCommerce security change, those perceptions will remain a limiting factor for eCommerce.InfrastructureEcommerce grants businesses global reach, but subpar or non-existent infrastructure limit consumer access to the means of accessing eCommerce. According to a Federal Communications Commission report, as of June 2010, over 26 million people lacked access to broadband Internet service in the United States. In Europe, over 300 million people do not use the Internet. While time can remedy such infrastructure gaps, it stands as an ongoing limitation.CompetitionThe field of eCommerce consists of fierce competition for the eyes and dollars of consumers. Businesses wanting to sell online must compete with entrenched eCommerce giants, such as Amazon and Staples, which brought in a combined total of approximately $58.5 billion in 2011. Businesses must also capture market share from other small vendors, many of which offer identical or nearly identical products or services. Vendors that sell custom or specialty products may face somewhat less competitive conditions due to the unique nature of their products.Limited InteractionUnlike shopping in a brick and mortar store or talking directly to a service provider, eCommerce places inherent limitations on interaction. At the product level, customers must make decisions based on images, product descriptions and reviews. Customers cannot handle a product to see if it feels good in their hands or weighs enough to indicate the manufacturer employed quality materials in its construction. Much of the customer service provided by those engaged in eCommerce happens strictly through digital means, such as forms on the website or an email, often with long lag times between filing a complaint and receiving a reply.

What effect does customer have on pricing?

If customers refuse to buy a product, the manufacture and shopkeeper will be left with unsold stock - which is dead money. They may be forced to reduce the price or give incentives to encourage customers to buy. In some cases, they may have to sell under-priced as a loss leader, or at cost price, so incurring a break-even loss.
