customers.

c. More complex channels add further intermediaries such as transport companies, wholesalers,

and independent distributors.

d. Most producers, however, use a marketing channel involving one or more specialized

intermediaries.

e. Of course, the choice of which physical distribution channels to use should not come at the

or by advertising and receiving orders via the Internet.

j. Yet the demands of retailers and customers clearly also have to be balanced against excessive

inventory costs, as large inventories tie up capital and increase the risk of spoilage.
