Marketing Channels: Delivering Customer Value

VALUE DELIVERY NETWORK

Upstream partners include raw material suppliers, components, parts, information, finances, and expertise to create a product or service

Downstream partners include the marketing channels or distribution channels that look toward the customer

MARKETING CHANNEL

Marketing channel is a set of interdependent organizations that eases the transfer of ownership as products move from producer to business user or consumer

CHANNEL MEMBERS

It means all parties in the marketing channel who negotiate with one another, buy and sell products, and facilitate the change of ownership between buyer and seller in the course of moving the product from the manufacturer into the hands of the final consumer

CHANNEL LEVELS

CHANNEL BEHAVIOR AND ORGANIZATION


Channel conflict refers to disagreement over goals, roles, and rewards by channel members Horizontal conflict Vertical conflict

CONVENTIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS SYSTEMS


Conventional distribution systems consist of one or more independent producers, wholesalers, and retailers. Each seeks to maximize its own profits, and there is little control over the other members and no formal means for assigning roles and resolving conflict.

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

CHANGING CHANNEL ORGANIZATION

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
