  4. Supply Chains  Producing and making products available to buyers requires building relationships with “upstream” and “downstream” partners. – Upstream: firms that supply the raw materials, components, parts, and other elements necessary to create a good. – Downstream: marketing channel partners that link the firm to the customer.
  5. Marketing Channel or Distribution Channel  A set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user. – Wholesalers – Distributors – Dealerships – Retailers
  6. How Channel Members Add Value  The use of intermediaries results from their greater efficiency in making goods available to target markets.  Offers the firm more than it can achieve on its own through the intermediaries: – Contacts – Experience – Specialization – Scale of operation
  7. Key Channel Functions  Transaction  Transaction Completing: Fulfilling: – Information – Physical – Promotion distribution – Contact – Financing – Matching – Risk taking – Negotiation
  8. Number of Channel Levels  Number of intermediary levels indicates the length of a channel. – Direct marketing channels • Have no intermediary levels between the manufacturer and the customer. – Indirect marketing channels • Contains one or more intermediaries.  All channel institutions are connected by several types of flows.
  9. Channel Behavior  The channel will be most effective when: – Each member is assigned tasks it can do best. – All members cooperate to attain overall channel goals.  If this does not happen, conflict occurs: – Horizontal Conflict occurs among firms at the same level of the channel (e.g., retailer to retailer). – Vertical Conflict occurs between different levels of the same channel (e.g., wholesaler to retailer).  Some conflict can be healthy competition.
  10. Vertical Marketing System  A distribution channel structure in which producers, wholesalers, and retailers act as a unified system.  One channel member owns the other, has contracts with them, or has so much power that they all cooperate.
  11. Types of Vertical Marketing Systems  Corporate VMS  Contractual VMS  Franchise organization  Administered VMS

  13. Innovations in Marketing Systems  Horizontal Marketing System – Two or more companies at one level join together to follow a new marketing opportunity.  Multichannel Distribution System – Occurs when a single firm sets up two or more marketing channels to reach one or more customer segments. – Also called hybrid marketing system.
  14. Changing Channel Organization  Disintermediation: – Occurs when product and service producers cut out intermediaries and go directly to final buyers, or when radically new types of channel intermediaries displace traditional ones.
  15. Channel Design Decisions  Analyzing Consumer Needs  Setting Channel Objectives  Identifying Major Alternatives  Evaluating the Major Alternatives
  16. Analyzing Consumer Needs  Answering key questions helps to determine customer needs: – Do consumers want to buy from nearby locations or are they willing to travel? – Do they value breadth of assortment or do they prefer specialization? – Do consumers want many add-on services?  Firm must balance needs against costs and consumer price preferences.
  17. Setting Channel Objectives  State objectives in terms of targeted levels of customer service.  Channel objectives are influenced by: – Cost – Nature of the company – The firm’s products – Marketing intermediaries – Competitors – Environment
  18. Identifying Major Alternatives  Types of Intermediaries – Company sales force – Manufacturer’s agency – Industrial distributors  Number of intermediaries – Intensive distribution – Exclusive distribution – Selective distribution  Responsibilities of intermediaries
  19. Evaluating the Major Alternatives  Economic Criteria: – A company compares the likely sales, costs, and profitability of different channel alternatives.  Control Issues: – How and to whom should control be given?  Adaptive Criteria: – Consider long-term commitment vs. flexibility.
  20. Channel Management Decisions  Selecting channel members  Managing and motivating channel members – Partner relationship management  Evaluating channel members
