CHANNEL FUNCTIONS
CHANNEL LEVELS
Vertical marketing systems (VMSs) provide channel leadership and consist of producers, wholesalers, and retailers acting as a unified system and consist of: Corporate marketing systems Contractual marketing systems Administered marketing systems
Horizontal marketing systems are when two or more companies at one level join together to follow a new marketing opportunity. Companies combine financial, production, or marketing resources to accomplish more than any one company could alone.
Multichannel Distribution systems (Hybrid marketing channels) are when a single firm sets up two or more marketing channels to reach one or more customer segments
Disintermediation occurs when product or service producers cut out intermediaries and go directly to final buyers, or when radically new types of channel intermediaries displace traditional ones
