BRANDING IN B2B
S P E C I A L S T U D I E S _ A N C H I T W A L I A
Branding sits at the core industry’s philosophy.
Technical personnel are prone to brand specification in their preferences.
(Industrial Buyer Behavior, HBS, 1989)
Price is found to have weakest potential for differentiation (Ulaga &
Eggert 2006a)
Existence of customer perception of superior value in Industrial Markets
(Judith, Mylles & Hill 2010)
Mudambi 2002, in his survey of industrial buyers, found that 37% of these
were Brand receptive

MARKET DATA FINDINGS
S P E C I A L S T U D I E S _ A N C H I T W A L I A
Industrial buyers are not price conscious
Industrial buyers are rational
Industrial distributors are willing to sell a product by a well known company
Companies with high reputation, market share charge premium price
Some intangible factors like country of origin as well as the brand name play an
important factor in industrial purchase
Large companies having larger budgets go for the branded products
