Business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce has woven itself into the fabric of business and consumer relations. Major strategic alliances have been formed among e-commerce giants. Television advertisements for e-commerce Web sites are plentiful, and consumers and the business community generally seem to accept that B2C e-commerce is here to stay.
Even as the United States weathered a general economic slowdown in the early 2000s, online spending continued to grow, with consumers spending more on average with each online purchase. Meanwhile, stocks of leading e-tailers began to level off after losing much of their value in 2000. There was a general sense that the worst was over, and certainly long-term prospects looked good for B2C e-commerce.

the business-to-consumer is a very good model especially now that factories that are also consumers are selling their goods at high prices.
