The Nature and Importance of Marketing Channels

How Channel Members Add Value Intermediaries offer producers greater efficiency in making goods available to target markets. Through their contacts, experience, specialization, and scale of operations, intermediaries usually offer the firm more than it can achieve on its own.

How Channel Members Add Value
From an economic view, intermediaries transform the assortment of products into assortments wanted by consumers Channel members add value by bridging the major time, place, and possession gaps that separate goods and services from those who would use them

How Channel Members Add Value

Matching
Negotiation
Physical distribution
Financing
Risk Taking

Number of Channel Members
Connected by types of flows: Physical flow of products Flow of ownership Payment flow Information flow Promotion flow
Channel Behavior and Organization

Channel Behavior Marketing channel consists of firms that have partnered for their common good with each member playing a specialized role Channel conflict refers to disagreement over goals, roles, and rewards by channel members Horizontal conflict Vertical conflict

Conventional Distributions Systems Conventional distribution systems consist of one or more independent producers, wholesalers, and retailers. Each seeks to maximize its own profits, and there is little control over the other members and no formal means for assigning roles and resolving conflict.

Vertical Marketing Systems Vertical marketing systems (VMS) provide channel leadership and consist of producers, wholesalers, and retailers acting as a unified system and consist of: Corporate marketing systems Contractual marketing systems Administered marketing systems

Vertical Marketing Systems Corporate vertical marketing system integrates successive stages of production and distribution under single ownership

Vertical Marketing Systems Contractual vertical marketing system consists of independent firms at different levels of production and distribution who join together through contracts to obtain more economies or sales impact than each could achieve alone. The most common form is the franchise organization.

Vertical Marketing Systems Franchise organization links several stages in the production distribution process
Manufacturer-sponsored retailer franchise system Manufacturer-sponsored wholesaler franchise system Service firm-sponsored retailer franchise system

Vertical Marketing Systems Administered vertical marketing system has a few dominant channel members without common ownership. Leadership comes from size and power.

Horizontal Marketing Systems
Horizontal marketing systems are when two or more companies at one level join together to follow a new marketing opportunity. Companies combine financial, production, or marketing resources to accomplish more than any one company could alone.

Multichannel Distribution Systems Hybrid Marketing Channels
Multichannel Distribution systems (Hybrid marketing channels) are when a single firm sets up two or more marketing channels to reach one or more customer segments

Changing Channel Organization Disintermediation occurs when product or service producers cut out intermediaries and go directly to final buyers, or when radically new types of channel intermediaries displace traditional ones
