The four segments of this supply chain are the producer, wholesaler, retailer, and consumer. Each segment is the supplier of the following segment. Each segment is the customer of the preceding segment. Producers supply Wholesalers who supply retailers who supply consumers. Wholesalers are the customers of the producers, retailers are the customers of Wholesalers and consumers are the customers of retailers.Another type of intermediary is the agent or broker. An agent is an intermediary who brings buyers and sellers together. Broker is another term for agent. The purpose of an agent is to connect sellers and buyers. An agent does not take possession of the product – they act as a go between. A channel of distribution with no intermediaries is called direct distribution –the consumer purchases the product directly from the producer. Ex. Someone goes to a farm and purchases a dozen eggs from the farmer. When intermediaries get involved we call that indirect distribution. Most distribution channels are indirect: Producer – Retailer – Consumer for example.Channel of Distribution Activity: Complete the channels of distribution by filling in the blanks with the “Members Used” information below.
