What is Distribution and its importance in Marketing Management

Distribution channels, channel marketing and channel management

Managing Distribution helps develop high performance marketing channels, delivering sales growth, competitive advantage, customer satisfaction, brand equity and efficiencies that stretch from better staff morale to shareholder pride.

Our distribution and logistics minded consultants identify alternative channel systems, help you best balance your direct, indirect multi-channel systems, and distinguish between B2B and B2C channels to improve cost efficiency, sales productivity and market share.

Key Definitions for Strategic "Distribution" & Channel Marketing

Distribution, in marketing terms, is simply the process of delivering.
Channels of Distribution are the media by which goods, services, experiences, etc are distributed that also serve to collect payment.
Marketing Logistics is the coordination of channels of distribution so as to optimise the process of exchange.
Channel Distribution Management optimises customer value at each point of exchange while minimising, if not avoiding, channel conflict.

Key Issues for Channel Selection, Support & Management

Different segments have different channel usage habits & behaviour
If your product is on shelf there is less room for competitors' SKU's
Pricing Strategy must be complimentary to the channel
Every channel demands and exhausts some resources
Brand equity is not a possession, it is a responsibility
Segmentation still rules

Common Feux Pars in Distribution Management & Strategic Planning

"We sell in every feasible channel"
"There is no way we can improve our distribution"
"Whatever we do, our competitors will follow"
"Customers are fickle - they only buy on price"
"There is no room for innovation, we've tried everything"
"Trade partners wouldn't agree, so our hands are tied"

How does Distribution fit into the Marketing Mix?

Just as with any other element of the marketing mix, Distribution is dependent upon all other elements. Hence,

Promotions strategy is subject to channel management, just as much as channel strategy is constrained or embellished by marketing communications strategies.
Pricing effects channel opportunities... channels of distribution effect pricing strategies.
Positioning is reinforced or undermined by distribution channels which effect buyer perceptions. So alliance strategies, multiple channel vs. single or duel channel, supply chain, and marketing logistics network decisions should all be made in context of segment needs, customer value issues, life cycle position, industry dynamics and competitive factors... just to name a few.

Channel Marketing strategy a minefield for some, but easier if you have trained, experienced advice on hand.
