We will explain the sales route.Â
The sales channel is the distribution channel through which goods are sold.Â
It is the flow of the sales route of the product.Â
Sales routes differ depending on the type of product.Â
Product types are roughly classified into the following two.

Used for everyday life. - It
is a product used by production goods companies and middlemen .Â
Raw materials, parts, equipment, etc.
WeÂ
will explain the distribution channels of “consumable goods” and “production goods”Â
â 1.Â
There are three basic forms of sales channels for consumer goods “consumer goods”.
- Manufacturers->
The easiest way to sell from a consumer manufacturer directly to a consumer.Â
There are ‘mail order sales’, ‘door to door’, ‘direct sales from manufacturers’ - Manufacturers-> Retailers-> Consumers
‘ sales offices and salespersons sell directly to retailers.ÂThe reason for choosing this form is
- Depending on the nature of the product
- When a suitable wholesaler can not be obtained
- When we want to thoroughly enforce the marketing power of manufacturers
- When the intention of the retailer who wants to exclude the wholesaler is strong
And so on.
- Manufacturer-> Wholesaler-> Retailer-> It
is a form to sell from a consumer manufacturer to a retailer using a wholesaler.Â
It is the most basic form of distribution.
2. There are two basic forms of sales channels for production goods “production goods”.
- Manufacturers-> Industrial Demanders An
“industrial demander” is a company that uses “production goods”.ÂThe characteristic of âproduction goodsâ is that the purchase of production goods is concentrated on a large number of âindustrial customersâ.Â
Therefore, we deliver directly to “industrial customers”.ÂIt is a product used for make-to-order production.Â

“production goods”, “standardized products”, “probably produced products”, “low-priced items”, “low-consumption items”, etc. , Sell using intermediaries.
