Theoretical Background
Conceptual Framework of study
1. Introduction:The distribution channel plays a pivotal role in successful
marketing of the products. After production the next problem faced by the
producer is that of selling & distributing. Because production is made to
satisfy the needs of Dealers & consumer, so it must reach to the Dealers
for whom it is made. If products distribution is prepared then the problem
of selling & distributing is easily solved.
So to satisfy the needs the and wants of the Dealers, the
main
D. Aid to Communication:
The middlemen or the dealer connects the link between producer
and buyer. These dealers have the complete knowledge of consumers
behavior and market. This information they can communicate to the
producer will produce according to the needs of the customers.
E. Stabilizing the Prices:
The Next Function Of Distribution Channel Is Stabilizing The
Prices. The Middlemen And Dealer Help To Stabilize The Prices. The
Middlemen Make The Goods Available At Any Place And at anytime. Thus
middlemen create a place where they required and in time and maintain the
Price.
F. Promotional Activities:
Middlemen & dealers also performed various promotional activities
like advertising, personal selling and sales promotion. This is important for
attracting the customers.
G. Distribution Activities:
This is important function of the distribution channel. It routines the
sale of the producer. Once the route of selling is fixed then it is easy to sale
the goods as well as take decision regarding sales.
H. Pricing:
The middlemen have very close contact with the customers as well
as the market. So they know about the information like pricing of the
product so producer collects this information from the middlemen to fix
the price of goods.
Producer-Consumer:
The shorter, simpler distribution channel which involves no

Producer-Retailer-Consumer:
Many large retailers by directly from manufacture. These
Channel 1
Is called a "direct-marketing" channel, since it has no intermediary
levels. In this case the manufacturer sells directly to customers. An example of
a direct marketing channel would be a factory outlet store. Many holiday
companies also market direct to consumers, bypassing a traditional retail
intermediary - the travel agent.
The remaining channels are "indirect-marketing channels".
Channel 2
Contains one intermediary. In consumer markets, this is typically a
retailer. The consumer electrical goods market in the UK is typical Channel
3
Contains two intermediary levels - a wholesaler and a retailer. A
wholesaler typically buys and stores large quantities of several producers
goods and then breaks into the bulk deliveries to supply retailers with smaller
quantities. For small retailers with limited order quantities, the use of
1) Product Characteristics
The product characteristics play and important role in influencing
the channel selector. The marketing manager must be study uses of product,
its frequency of the purchase, pereshability rapidity of fashion change, the
service required, its value and its bulk.
A) Purchase Frequency:
The more frequency purchase are made the more feasible it is for
a manufacturer to use direct distribution. These require extensive distribution,
which involves a financial consideration.
B) Perishability:
Perishable and fashionable products such as dairy and bakery
products, fruits & vegetables are must be placed in the hands of the final users
as soon as possible after its production. These usually require more direct
marketing because of a danger associated with repeated handling and delays.
C) Weight Of Product:
The products that are bulky, large in size and technically complicated
are usually by the company to the consumers because of the difficulty of
finding middlemen for these lines.
D) Selling Price Per Unit:
If selling price per unit is low, the channel of distribution may be long
as in case of cigarette and watches. If selling price is more the channel is more
direct as in case of television and radio.
E) Standardized Product:
Standardized product each unit of which is similar in colour, weight,
size, quality etc. have direct or lengthy channel of distribution.
B)Number Of Purchases:
Where number of consumers is large the channel may be indirect and
services of wholesalers and retailers became necessary. But if consumers are
few direct sales can be entertained through representative.
c) Geographical Distribution:
If consumer are geographical dispersed, the channel may long, in
contrast if they are concentrated the direct selling may be done.
D) Size Of Orders:
C) Product Mix:
A fresh expansion of plant capacity may require more aggressive
channels. If the product mix of a company is under, it can deal its with
customer directly, similarly, consistency in the companies product mix ensures
homogeneity of its marketing channel.
D) Attitude Of Company Executives:
The attitude of the company executive may also influence the channel
selection. Their experience of working with certain type of middlemen may
tend to develop channel performance.
4) Environmental Factors:
The environmental factors such as economic, ethical and social
condition and the law of the land also influence channel decision.
A) Economic Factors:
When economic conditions are depressed the producers proper shorter
channels to cut costs. If there is multi point tax on scale, the line should be
shorter to avoid the tax burden of the consumers and they prefer to scale
directly to the retailers on consumers.
B) Social Factors:
