Question
How do the ‘market-related factors’ affect the choice of channels of distribution? Explain.
Solution
There are various market-related factors such as the size of the market, geographical concentration of potential buyers and volume of demand which determine the choice of channels of distribution which the company opts. For instance, if potential buyers are concentrated in only a small geographical area, then the shorter channels of distribution would be more suitable.
