Tight control: A distribution strategy helps businesses understand and control every step in the distribution process, ensuring that goods reach customers promptly

Retailers: Retailers are entities that engage directly with customers They may purchase goods from manufacturers or through wholesalers The wholesale prices that retailers purchase goods are often lower than the suggested retail prices offered

by manufacturers, ensuring profitability when selling products to customers

Hình 1.5 Hình 1.6

Wholesalers: Wholesalers are entities that seek large quantities of products from multiple manufacturers and then deliver these products to retailers or distributors Wholesalers always strive to purchase goods at the lowest possible cost, creating a price difference between the purchase price and the selling price to increase profitability To ensure this, wholesalers need to own multiple warehouses and a diverse range of goods to provide retailers with a wide selection of options

Franchisors: Franchisors can be individuals, businesses, corporations, or

government entities with significant financial resources With the desire to invest and conduct business to achieve higher profits than the interest rate at banks, while also increasing brand recognition

Distributor: A distributor is responsible for transporting goods from the place of production to retail points With a distributor, manufacturers do not need to manage

a workforce or incur costs such as salaries and bonuses Distributors often own a packaging system for products to deliver to retailers

Example 1: Apple employs a selective distribution strategy to bring its products toconsumers' hands They only distribute products through authorized retail partnerssuch as Apple Stores and mobile phone retailers This strategy brings significantbenefits to Apple Thanks to this strategy, they have better control over productquality and provide excellent customer service

Hình 1.7

Example 2: The watch company Rolex implements an exclusive distribution strategy to distribute its products to consumers They choose to collaborate with authorized retail partners such as upscale watch retailers Through this strategy, Rolex maintains the exclusivity of its products and ensures the highest quality of service for customers
