Types of distribution channels that may be used to get products from manufacturers to the end users:

The types of distribution channels that are used to get products from manufacturers to end users are as follows:

  • Channel 0: Direct selling of products to the end customers without retailers. Companies sell products directly to the customers without having any intermediaries.
  • Channel 1: Selling to end customers using a retailer. Intermediaries are used by companies to sell their products. This type of distribution channel is used to sell to a large number of customers.
  • Channel 2: Selling of products using both retailer and wholesaler.
  • Channel 3: Using agents or brokers before the wholesaler or retailer. Here, more than one intermediary comes into work where the agent negotiates between the producer and seller.
