Direct Marketing - The Advantages of B2B, B2C, & XBRL
Saturday, November 23, 2013
Business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) are marketing concepts that are designed to tailor marketing to a target audience. These marketing styles have been adapted for e-commerce, effectively transforming commerce on the Internet from blanket pop-up ads to specifically targeted ads based on the content of the site. Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is a system for updating and reporting business and financial info in a standardized format, making entire histories of business financials easily cross-referenced in Internet databases.
Up To The Minute
The ultimate advantage of all e-business tools is the ability to be reactive in very minute ways. With financial data logged into XBRL reporting systems, businesses can have access to extremely fine changes in sales, stock changes and profits, so they can immediately discover and coordinate what marketing schemes are effective and which aren't.
Enhanced Customer Experience
B2B and B2C are especially designed so that e-commerce advertising isn't "one-size-fits-all." B2B and B2C are usually handled by third-party marketing and advertising companies that analyze web traffic in order to identify demographics, buying patterns, and products and services of interest.
Automating Routine Tasks
If XBRL is universally adopted, it will become an important tool for accounting, reducing the amount of time businesses spend on allocating and arranging information. In a programmable database, data is automatically sorted and organized, and in some cases, automatically extracted from connected applications. This could revolutionize financial accountability in e-commerce.
Tracking Changes in Business
Since XBRL is an important tool in cloud-based databases and a repository for financial data, it becomes far simpler and more convenient to compare and contrast data from a variety of organizations from potentially long periods of time. Analysis of metrics is always substantially improved by more complete information.
