What to Focus On

  • Channels of distribution connect producers and consumers.
  • Middlemen are the connecting links in distribution.
  • A channel helps goods move from the place of production to the place of consumption.
  • Direct channel has no middleman.
  • Indirect channel has one or more middlemen.
  • Large-scale producers often use indirect channels.
  • No middleman is present in direct channel.
  • Producers can sell through their own retail shops.
  • Direct channel is common in services.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A channel of distribution is only the shop or market where goods are sold.

Direct channel means goods go through many middlemen but the producer sells faster.

Indirect channel always means exactly one middleman.
