They line up to buy their daily inventory of newspapers and magazines from 15-odd distributors, all located in a dark lane outside the nearby New Empire Cinema. After making their purchases, the street vendors fan out into the city on bicycles, motorbikes, rickshaws, and trains. By 6 am, the crowd has vanished, and if you walk past the theatre during the day, you will most likely miss the nerve centre of magazine and newspaper distribution in Mumbai. Most hawkers in Mumbai have a cash budget of around US$3 or US$4 a day, and they usually have a similar amount tied up in unsold inventory (returns). Elsewhere in the country, vendors have even less cash to spare.

Their drivers are dressed in Bud or Coke uniforms, and are responsible for stocking the products on grocery shelves. Although there are similarities, the channels of distribution for Bud and Coke are quite different. How are they different? Think about where the product is "made." Why don't you see Shasta brand trucks and delivery people, as you do for Coke and Bud? Why has Shasta elected to use a different channel of distribution? Why does Schwan's elect to sell door-to-door? Wouldn't it be less expensive and more efficient for them to sell through conventional grocery outlets? Is it advantageous or disadvantageous for Dell to sell its computers on-line as well as in discount stores? What are the means by which "used" products (e.g., Lady Gaga CDs) are distributed?
