Distribution
• Sellers--produce large quantities of limited number of goods
• Buyers—want smaller quantities of wider variety of goods
• Distribution--realigns discrepancies between quantities and selections– Breaking bulk: making goods
available in smaller batches

Tension in Distribution Channels
• Tension in channels created by contribution of each channel member
– Do they provide more benefit than they cost?
– Should we do this activity ourselves or have a channel member do it for us?
![Page 9: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

deal with conflict
![Page 14: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intensive Distribution
• Intensive: widely distribute offerings to all appropriate locations– Drugstores, supermarkets,
discount stores, convenience stores, etc.
• Usually for simple, inexpensive, easily transported products– Snack food, shampoo,
newspapers, etc.• Pull strategy: promote directly to
end consumers to pull through channel

• Usually for complex and/or expensive products that require assistance – Cars, computers, appliances,
etc.• Push strategy: promote to
distribution partners to push goods to consumer

Channel Conflict
• Conflict can arise when channel partners differ in their opinions on how to please customers and maximize profit
• Conflict may motivate parties to find alternative solutions
![Page 22: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Types of Power
• Coercive power: Ability to take away benefits or inflict punishment on other party
• Information power: Having information other party seeks
• Legitimate power: Using size or expertise to encourage other party
• Referent power: One party seeks an affiliation with other
• Reward power: Ability to provide good outcomes for other party
![Page 23: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Channel Power and Conflict
• Power is usually defined by size and effectiveness
• In the long term, power isn’t a great way to resolve conflict because the less powerful player may feel resentful and act accordingly
![Page 24: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dealing with Conflict
• Try to develop effective communication to enhance trust and satisfaction
• Make sure that parties feel that they’re being heard and their needs are understood and being met
• Remind channel members of mutual goal of customer satisfaction
![Page 25: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Building Channel Relationships
• If conflict cannot be resolved, two other options:– Mediation
• Negotiate through a third party that determines the two parties’ utility functions
– Arbitration• The third party makes a
binding decision for the two
![Page 26: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Channel Integration
• If a company is currently using a partner to do something, it might wish to bring that function back in-house – Forward Integration
• e.g., manufacturer controls its retail stores
– Backward integration • e.g., manufacturer
controls raw material
![Page 27: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Private Labels
• Many retailers are integrating backward into private label products
• Advantages– May give retailers
negotiating power with the manufacturer
– May offer significant margin opportunities
– May allow retailer to distinguish itself as the only place that offers that brand
![Page 28: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Retailing

Importance of Retail Employees
• If retailers are not selective in hiring and if employees are not trained or paid well, service will be suboptimal and lead to customer dissatisfaction
• Retailers benefit from selecting good people, training them, paying them, rewarding them well, and empowering them
![Page 30: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Importance of Location
• Consider factors needed to be successful– Environmental data
• population densities• income and social
class distributions• median ages• household
composition, etc.
![Page 31: Marketing Management Dawn Iacobucci © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce05503460f949aa2a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Retailer Growth Strategies
