K 31 Bad Marketing Management Lecture 5 Distribution Strategy

Toys R Us Charles Lazarus a)Founded World’s largest toy chain AND, a new type of retail outlet! Founded in 1978, Toy R Us averaged a 30% growth rate for years! b)As we would expect, this attracted the attention of competition… Target and Wal-Mart!!..and Market share fell from 25% to 17%

Toys R Us c) Wal-Mart over took Toys R Us to become the largest volume seller of toys in the U.S. d) Toys R Us reacted: It spend $300 million to renovate stores and increase its assortment of toys from 10,000 to 17,000 items while changing its SUPPLY CHAIN to reduce inventory! This meant smaller profits for the toy manufacturers and less sales outside of the holiday seasons To boost profits, suppliers reacted to two ways: 1. Some reduced the flow of “hot” toys to discounters like Wal- Mart 2. Some gave Toys R Us exclusive launches of select toys

Channel of Distribution DEFINITION The complete sequence of marketing organizations involved in bringing a product from the producer to the customer; -- a system of interdependency within a set of organizations; --a system that facilitates the exchange process.

What a Channel Involves A. Conventional channel: loosely aligned, autonomous organizations that carry out a trade relationship B. Vertical marketing systems: tightly organized systems coordinated by ownership of one member, legal agreements, or the power of one member

What a Channel Involves C. Facilitators: provide limited services to channel members D. Intermediaries (or middlemen): specialize in distribution; Merchant Intermediaries take title to the product Agent Intermediaries do not take title to the product

Manufacturer Coors Beer, Golden, CO. Producer of a finished product Wholesaler Cleveland Coors Distributor Intermediary who does not produce or consume the product, but sells it to others (perhaps in another form) Retailer Giant Eagle Intermediary who sells to the ultimate consumer Consumer YOU. Ultimate Users

Consumer and Business Marketing Channels i. Flow Types: Ownership, payment, information and promotion. ii. Channels MUST contain a consumer (buyer) and producer! Direct Channel

Consumer and Business Marketing Channels Multiple Distribution Channels Used to reach 2 or more target markets

III. Functions of Intermediaries A. Physical Distribution Functions Bulk Assortment Transportation Storage FEDEX Supply Chain Services (previously Caliber Logistics) go! go!

III. Functions of Intermediaries B. Communication C. Facilitating Functions Service Credit Risk

Cutting the Middleman Does not eliminate the costs associated with the functions performed by that intermediary Manufacturer Wholesaler Retailer Ultimate Consumer Manufacturer Retailer Ultimate Consumer Still must break bulk, arrange assortment, store and ship or these functions to the retailer

Functions of Intermediaries A.. Physical Distribution Functions 1. Breaking Bulk: Buy in large quantities, sell in small quantities

Breaking Bulk: PRODUCER INTERMEDIARY Buyer ABuyer BBuyer C Buyer D

Functions of Intermediaries 2. Accumulating Bulk: Buy units from many small producers, offer larger amounts to buyers

Accumulating Bulk: BUYER INTERMEDIARY (assembler) Producer AProducer BProducer CProducer D

Functions of Intermediaries 3. Creating Assortments: Resolve the discrepancy: factories produce large quantities of a single product, buyers want small quantities of a variety of products

Functions of Intermediaries 4. Reducing Transactions: Intermediaries as buying agents for their customers and selling agents for producers, simplify the process

Physical Distribution Functions 5. Transportation and Storage: physical movement of merchandise from points of production to points of consumption, including storage

Transportation and Storage Manufacturer produces Swimsuits in September Storage fills until January Retailer accepts delivery in January Retail Stores Customer Buys Transport Storage

Communication: Linkage between manufacturer and retailer, or the wholesaler and retailer to: 1. transfer ownership - consummate an exchange of title 2. perform promotion - sales force, advertising, sales promotion 3. judge quality of alternative manufacturers

Communication: 4. inform buyers how products are to be sold, used, repaired 5. conduits of information with many different suppliers 6. collect information from retailers and consumers

Facilitation 1. all the "extra" services --post-sale repair service --management services (accounting systems, inventory planning, store site selection, layout, management training) --credit --risk-taking

Internet Marketing Ideas on Success in Internet Marketing

Disadvantages of Internet Marketing Low Barriers to Entry –Online setup is relatively inexpensive, thus barriers to entry are low –Competition is high Comparison Shopping is Easy –Some online sites offer "shop bots" that search online merchants for the lowest price –Margins are tight, therefore difficult for merchants to raise prices without losing sales

Disadvantages of Internet Marketing Consumer Confidence –Confidence takes a long time to build and is extremely easy to lose –Consumers can't touch the product Security Concerns –One of the most common obstacles of e- commerce is the overall fear of fraud –Positive word-of-mouth should help

Disadvantages of Internet Marketing Customer Service Problems –With virtual stores, customers have nowhere to go to either check out the merchandise or return/exchange items –Many e-trailers focus on giving good customer service as one of their competitive advantages but this is not easy or inexpensive Shipping –Shipping times are generally getting shorter as e-commerce companies build out better distribution systems

Disadvantages of Internet Marketing Site Outages –Outages are costly and unacceptable to consumers Cash Burn –Should be of primary importance to any investors in the Internet –Companies must achieve profitability or fail !!!

Disadvantages of Internet Marketing Dot Com Graveyard –Furniture.com –Garden.com –Pets.com –Living.com There are no links!!

..BUT Personalize Ads For Frequent Online Shoppers and Bigger Spenders. According to the 2008 Personalization Survey from ChoiceStream, 39% of consumers overall are more likely to click on an ad if it is personalized, while that number rises to 58% among those who shop online at least several times a month. go go

Managing the Channel of Distribution Channel Tends to be LONGER: Low Price Durable Product Complex Product After-sale Service Limited Resources Many Small Customers Many Producers Capable Intermediaries Channel Tends to be SHORTER: High Prices Perishable Products Simple Products Substantial Resources Few Large Customers Few Producers Focused Merchandising Few Intermediaries

Pricing and the Relationship with Channel Members Garick is doing line reviews with their retailers (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Lowe’s) for next season. How do you price in advance these days? With uncertainty in the economic environment. So Garick created a fuel surcharge for the first time This creates a problem in planning for your customers, the retailer. Gary recalls there being 4P’s (which has NOT changed!) Price was viewed as being “easy,” cost-plus pricing. But it is more complicated when you think about your relationship with a retailer. Will it be used as a loss leader, for a promotion, or part of a two for one deal? SO, pricing IS a marketing decision. What is our “appropriate price” for our customer, given OUR costs. Then you need to consider YOUR strategy. Do we want intensive and fast distribution? So we set a low price. Do we have a competitive advantage, for a year or two or six months, so that we can set a high price and get a great profit margin until our competitors catch on? OR do we need to consider how our customer wants to price it? It IS a function of Marketing!

Intensive = number of outlets Selective Exclusive What Market Exposure Fits the Marketing Objectives? Market Exposure

Channel Independency Channel Cooperation: Objectives and strategies of two channel members are harmonious Channel Conflict: Antagonistic relationship from the absence of clear channel power or disagreement over purpose

Channel Independency Channel Power: Ability to influence the behavior of another channel member, channel leader or channel captain

Types of Channel Power Coercive Power: Force compliance by threats of punishment, such as loss of business Reward Power: Offer incentives, usually economic, to induce compliance

Types of Channel Power Expert Power: Induce compliance due to superior expertise or knowledge Referent Power: Earn admiration and respect, leading to compliance Legitimate Power: Exert influence based on legal agreements

Ethical, Political, and Legal Forces Reverse Distribution: –Recycling Costs of Distribution Functions: –Eliminating middlemen does not reduce the functions to be performed!!!!

Ethical, Political, and Legal Forces Legal Regulation: Exclusive dealing: –A supplier prohibits intermediaries that handle its product from selling competing products Exclusive Territories: –Is competition restricted? Justification includes: investment is so great it justifies exclusivity; image or quality

Ethical, Political, and Legal Forces Tying Contracts: –Require intermediary to purchase merchandise that is supplementary to the desired product

SIGNIFICANCE OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT KEY CONCEPTS  Supply Chain Supply Chain is a sequence of firms that perform activities required to create and deliver a good or service to consumers or industrial users. It includes suppliers that provide raw material inputs, the manufacturer, the wholesalers and retailers that deliver finished goods

Trinetti on Supply Chain Management The items all come from different raw materials with different manufacturing processes, coming from all over the world! The opportunity for managing all of these processes is tremendous. Think of the opportunities from the time the material is grown, harvested, manufactured, all the way to the to point of sale! There are opportunities for efficiencies, profitability, and firms to facilitate these. Supply Chain Management is a “new” term, working with “procurement,” and “logistics.” Think about retailers like Home Depot and Wal-Mart and all the things that need to happen to get those items on the shelf! A truck has to deliver it to the store, of course. But peel back the layers of what happened before that. Wal-Mart has developed expertise in distribution and transportation Supply chain crosses over from raw materials, to manufacturing production, to airplanes, barges, trucks and rails, to getting the item on the shelf!

SIGNIFICANCE OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT KEY CONCEPTS  Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management Is the integration and organization of information and logistic activities across firms in a supply chain for the purpose of creating and delivering goods and services that provide value to consumers
