There are two broad categories of Channel Arrangements ? Independent Channel Arrangement ? Dependent Channel Arrangement In Independent Channel Arrangement or “conventional” distribution arrangement, a channel member negotiates deals with others that do not result in binding relationships
In Dependent Channel Arrangements , also called “vertical marketing systems” , a channel member feels tied to one or more members of the distribution channel

?

?

?

Dependent Channel Arrangement can be further classified as ? Corporate -> supplier operates its own distribution system in a manner that produces an integrated channel e.g. Starbucks ? Contractual -> a legal document obligates members to agree on how a product is distributed • Wholesaler-sponsored • Retailer-sponsored • Franchised ? Administrative -> a single member may dominate the decisions that occur within the channel e.g. Procter & Gamble, Wal-Mart

?

Distribution strategy can be shaped by how decisions are made in other marketing areas
? Product Issues

The nature of the product often dictates the distribution options available especially if the product requires special handling
? Promotion Issues

Distribution decisions are affected by the type of promotional activities needed to sell the product to customers
? Pricing Issues

The desired price at which a marketer seeks to sell their product can impact how they choose to distribute

? Target Market Issues -> A key decision in setting up a

channel arrangement is for the marketer to choose the approach that reaches customers in the most effective way possible

?

Arises due to the notion that sales can grow if the marketer expands distribution by adding additional resellers. Channel strategy designed to expand product distribution may in fact do the opposite if existing members feel there is a conflict in the decisions made by the marketer If existing members sense a conflict and feel the marketer is not sensitive to their needs they may choose to stop handling the marketer’s products
