CUSTOMERS: CUSTOMERS are people who buy products. Imagine that you are the owner of a company selling computers. Anyone entering your shops can be called POTENTIAL CUSTOMER. This is a person who could buy if he/she finds the right product. Anyone that actually buys one of your computers from your shop is a CUSTOMER. |

CLIENTS: Imagine you own an advertising company. Your company designs advertising campaigns which may run on TV, Radio and even the internet. A car manufacturing company approaches your advertising company to prepare a series of advertisements to promote a new model of sports car. The car manufacturing company can be regarded as CLIENTS as they are buying a service from you. |
