According to Tech Funnel, digital marketing now accounts for 75% of the overall marketing budget, enabling businesses worldwide to leverage advancements in technology to promote their brands to customers. But how does consumer marketing differ from trade marketing? ## What is Trade Marketing?

Offering discount programs for customers Businesses can collaborate with [distributors](https://blog.usetada.com/en/understanding-fmcg-distributors-pain-points) and other channel partners to create appealing discount programs for customers. This can boost product sales while strengthening relationships with business partners. 2. Strategically placing products Businesses can partner with retailers to strategically place their products in high-traffic areas of the store, such as the front shelf or promotional areas. This can grab customers' attention and boost sales. 3. Providing special price offers to customers Businesses can work with retailers to offer special prices for customers who make large or regular purchases. This approach can encourage customers to buy more products while strengthening the relationship between the company and its channel partners. ## **What is Consumer Marketing?** Consumer marketing involves promoting and selling products or services to individuals for their personal use.

Understanding customer data is crucial in determining their preferences and behavior. ### **Consumer Marketing Examples** Here are some examples of consumer marketing strategies: 1.

While consumer marketing targets end-users, trade marketing focuses on building relationships with retailers and distributors who can help get the products in front of consumers. Trade marketing is essential for ensuring that products are effectively displayed and promoted in retail stores, increasing the likelihood of consumers buying them. It also helps to build strong relationships with retailers, which can lead to more significant shelf space and more prominent product placement. On the other hand, consumer marketing is crucial for building brand awareness and [loyalty](https://www.usetada.com/en/tada-loyalty/) among end-users.
