Distribution Tasks Performed by Retailers Distribution Tasks Performed by Retailers 22
The role of the retailer in the distribution channel, regardless of his size or type, is to interpret the demands of his customers and to find and stock the goods these customers want, when they want them, and in the way they want them. This adds up to having the right assortments at the time customers are ready to buy.
