Join Drew Boyd for an in-depth discussion in this video Designing distribution channels, part of Marketing Foundations.
…A distribution channel has three objectives.…It needs to deliver a product customers want, at a convenient location, and…at convenient times, so that your marketing effort is successful.…The right product means that you have the necessary inventory of product on hand,…when the customer is shopping.…That means you have to have all the models, and all the styles and sizes and…available options that a customer might want at that moment.…Missing just one of these will cause the customer to look elsewhere.…
And you lose the sale.…The people selling your product need to be skilled at merchandising it,…and explaining it to customers.…They might have to demonstrate the product, and…explain why it's superior to others.…The right location means that your product is conveniently located, and…it's easy to find.…The salespeople have to be skilled at transacting the purchase.…If you have an online store,…it too has to be easy to find, easy to locate a product, and easy to buy from.…
Otherwise customers may look for a place that's more convenient.…
