CONSUMER-TO-BUSİNESS (C2B)

Consumer-to-business (C2B) applies to any consumer that sells a product or service to a business over the Internet. One example of this e-business model is Priceline.com where bidders (or customers) set their prices for items such as airline tickets or hotel rooms, and a seller decides whether to supply them. The demand for C2B e-business will increase over the next few years due to customer’s desire for greater convenience and lower prices.

C2B model, also called a reverse auction or

demand collection model, enables buyers to name their own price often binding, for a specific good or service generating demand. The website collects the demand bids and then offers the bids to the participating sellers.

We can see this example in blogs or internet forums where the author offers a link back to an online business facilitating the purchase of some product (like a book on Amazon.com), and the author might receive affiliate revenue from a successful sale.
