The Role of Marketing Channels in Marketing Strategy
• Marketing channels are key because they are the means of making goods and services available to ultimate users.
• Four functions of marketing channels:
1. Channels facilitate the exchange process by reducing the number of marketplace contacts necessary to make a sale
2. Distributors adjust for discrepancies in the market’s assortment of goods and services via sorting, channeling products to meet the buyer’s and producer’s needs
3. Channel members tend to standardize payment terms, delivery schedules, prices, purchase lots, and other conditions
4. Channels facilitate searches by both buyers and sellers and bring them together to complete the exchange process

Dual Distribution• Movement of products through more than one
channel to reach the firm’s target market• Used to maximize the firm’s coverage in the
marketplace or to increase the cost-effectiveness of the firm’s marketing effortExample: Sears Canada sells through stores,
catalogues, and the Internet

Reverse Channels• Channels designed to return goods to their
producers• Growing importance because of rising prices for
raw materials, increasing availability of recycling facilities, and passage of additional antipollution and conservation lawsExample: Every element in a spent automotive battery
can be reclaimed, recycled, and reused in new batteries
• Also used for recalls and repairs

Who Should Perform Channel Functions?• Intermediary must provide better service at
lower costs than manufacturers or retailers can provide for themselves
• Consolidation of channel functions can represent a strategic opportunity for a companyExample: Auto manufacturers operate their own
credit units that offer financing

Channel Conflict• Horizontal conflict Results from disagreements
among channel members at the same level, such as two competing discount stores
• Vertical conflict Occurs among members at different levels of the channelExample: When Tupperware struck a deal to sell its
products through retailer locations, it lost three-quarters of its in-home sales force

downstream distributionBackward integration―Manufacturer attempts to
gain greater control over inputs to production process
