These interme

They are the set of pathways a product or service

Others-brokers manufacturers representatives sales agents-search for customers and may negotiat

Still others-transportation companies independent warehouses banks advertising agencies-assist in the distribution process but neither take title to goods nor negotiate purchases or sales they are called facilitator

5、s.The Importance of ChannelsA marketing channel system is the particular set of marketing channels a firm employs and decisions about it are among the most critical ones management faces. In the United States channel members collectively have earned margins that account for 30 to 50 of the ultimate

6、selling price. In contrast advertising typically has accounted for less than 5 to 7 of the final price. Marketing channels also represent a substantial opportunity cost. One of the chief roles of marketing channels is to convert potential buyers into profitable customers. Marketing channels must not

7、 just serve markets they must also make markets.The channels chosen affect all other marketing decisions. The companys pricing depends on whether it uses mass merchandisers or high-quality boutiques. The firms sale force and advertising decisions depend on how much training and motivation dealers ne

8、ed. In addition channel decisions include relatively long-term commitments with other fins as well as a set of policies and procedures. When an automaker signs up independent dealers to sell its automobiles the automaker cannot buy them out the next day and replace them with company-owned outlets. B

Holistic marketers ensure that marketing decisions in all these different areas are made to collectively maximize value.In managing its intermediaries the

10、firm must decide how much effort to devote to push versus pull marketing.

Push strategy is appropriate where there is low brand loyalty

In a pull strategy the manufacturer uses advertising promotion and other forms of communication to persuade consumers to demand the product from intermediaries thus inducing the

12、intermediaries to order it .Pull strategy is appropriate when there is high brand loyalty and high involvement in the category when consumers are able to perceive differences between brands and when they choose the brand before they go to the store. For years drug companies aimed ads solely at docto

13、rs and hospitals but in 1997 the FDA issued guidelines for TV ads that opened the way for pharmaceuticals to reach consumers directly. This is particularly evident in the burgeoning business of prescription sleep aids.Top marketing companies such as Coca-Cola Intel and Nike skillfully employ both pu

14、sh and pull strategies. Marketing activities directed towards the channel as part of a push strategy are more effective when accompanied by a well-designed and well-executed pull strategy that activates consumer demand. On the other hand without at least some consumer interest it can be very difficu
