Distribution involves delivering products from producers to consumers through various channels like wholesale and retail. Supply Chain Management oversees this process to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Wholesale sells large quantities to retailers, who then sell to consumers; retail involves direct sales to individuals. Logistics encompasses transportation, warehousing, and inventory management to keep products moving smoothly. Companies like Amazon, Walmart, Alibaba, UPS, FedEx, and DHL facilitate these processes globally. Consumer goods, such as Procter & Gamble products, are distributed via channel management strategies. Merchandising and e-commerce focus on promoting and selling products. Trade associations support industry standards, while direct sales and franchising expand market reach.
