  2. WHY YOU NEED DISTRIBUTON NETWORK Before you can start selling your product or service, it needs to get to the market. This is where distribution channels come in. As a business owner, you may be confused by what kind of distributor you need for your product. Perhaps you aren't even sure what’s the difference between distributors and agents. Or maybe you’re not too familiar with brokers — who they are and how they differ from distributors and agents. If so, don't worry! We'll provide you with the answers here.

  3. WHAT IS A DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL? A distribution channel is any avenue you use to get your product in front of your customers. Online, your distribution channels are your website, e-commerce platform, social media, and email list. Offline, your distribution channels are your retail stores, pop-up shops, wholesale accounts, and trade shows. It's critical to determine your distribution channels, operate them efficiently, and establish repeatable distribution processes for getting products to your end- users. The correct way to distribute your inventory is a constant, and evolving, cycle you must continuously monitor. You must become knowledgable about your distribution channels and be able to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. It’s especially important if you strive to sell your product on a global level. In the consumer packaged goods industry, most countries are undergoing a shift in focus towards digitalized distribution mechanisms. The main themes are increasing focus on supply-chain transparency, environmental initiatives, harmonized regulations, the increasing role of e-commerce, and gateway economies.

An agent represents a single retailer and works with that retailer to list items for purchase. A broker is a middle man that links up two or more retailers so that they can list each other’s items in conjunction with each other.
