...M2 Unit 29 Different retailing businesses have very different distribution methods based on the types of product that they sell, some arguably more effectively than others. As mentioned in an earlier assignment, there are three main types of distribution channels. The first is the channel that goes from the producer, then to the wholesaler, then to the retailer or sells to the consumer. The second channel starts with the producer who sells straight to the retailer, who then sells to the consumer. The third channel goes directly from the producer to the consumer. Channels one and two are classed as indirect marketing channels, whereas channel three is a direct marketing channel as it goes straight from producer to consumer. All of the distribution channels start with a producer who will create the products, for example the person that milks the cows to get milk. For the first channel, the producer makes the product and then sells it to a wholesaler, such as Costsco who will purchase a huge quantity of products from them. They would do this to make sure that they have enough to sell onto retailers. They would keep a large amount of the product, for example some kind of confectionary, in there warehouse so they’re in a suitable environment to be kept until they’re sold on. Next, the retailer, who could be a small store or a larger store, who would want to purchase a specific amount of products from the wholesalers, not in as bulk form as the wholesaler would have purchased...

Storing is about where the goods are going to come from and where they are going to be stored.

Distribution channels are also known as marketing channels or marketing distribution channels in this context, the individuals and organizations are known as intermediaries; channels are categorised according to the number of intermediaries between the producer and the end user.

...P2 In this task I am going to define the four key channels of the delivery of goods and examples of products that would use each channel. Also I will define for each produce the way this is the most suitable. The creation starts with the creator, who makes or goods a certain item. Once they have made the products they will send it to the wholesaler who buy the items in bulk and package the items separately. Once individually packaged they get transported out to the retailer (shops) who have transported the element in unpackaged (not brought as many as the wholesaler but big enough to get a discount) and sell the products to the customer. On behalf of instance Runnymede CDC (central distribution centre) package and distribute goods to airports such as Stanstead and Gatwick, these properties will include alcohol, tobacco, confectionary items and cosmetic goods. The producer would start with the raw materials to make beer, such as barley and yeast, once he has got the resources and made and bottled the beer. He would then send it to a wholesaler; they would want to get the beer in bulk and would ask for thousands of bottles, due to them marketing them onto other establishments. When the wholesaler has the beer they will individually package the beer (into a 6 pack) and will then distribute the beer to the airports. Once the beer has reached the airport, it will be sold in the duty-free area and will be sold to the passengers boarding planes (also known as regulars). The main...

...P4 - Identify the competitive factors in the retail environment a selected organisation faces In this assignment I will identify what competitive factors and changes Tesco faces in the retail sector and how it might respond to these under the following headings; retail environment using PESTEL, and competitive environment based on overcoming barriers to entry, pricing, new markets and mobile population. In this assignment I will be talking about how Porter’s five forces are being used by Tesco. By using PESTEL we can see the changeable environment in which Tesco functions. PESTEL Political Tesco operates in 14 different countries. Therefore its performance may be influenced by the local legislation and political factors. There are certain rules and regulations which must be followed by Tesco. Employment law is one of the laws which must be adhered to otherwise Tesco may be prosecuted for this. Tesco offer a variety of jobs like high flexible, low paid, highly skilled, high paid and local based jobs. Tesco also offer jobs to students, elderly people, disable people and mixed race people. The reason behind this is so that they follow the employment legislation and don’t break no laws. Tesco has been able to move over into China which has allowed them to break the barrier and move into the world’s most profitable market with over 1.3 billion people according to the Straits Times 2010. Tesco signed a settlement in 2009 which qualified them to set up stores in shopping malls...

Channel C shows the traditional pattern. The manufactures will sell all the products in bulk to the wholesalers, who then will resell them in smaller amounts to retailers; then the retailers then sell single items to the customers...

...In this task I am going to describe what types of organisations and structures in retailing are. Also I am going to describe the different branches of organisation and structures. Describe at least 4 classifications of different types of stores Hybrid retailers Hybrid stores offer new combinations of products in the same store. For example, Waterstones located in the Reading Oracle Centre is a bookshop which has a combined coffee shop to offer a dual experience for the customers. This type of shopping experience combines social activities with shopping meaning customers are more relaxed and in a better frame of mind to spend longer browsing products and making purchases. Independent retailers Independent retailers usually have less than ten branches. They sell either a specialist range of products such as medicines or they are general convenience stores which sell groceries, household goods, wines and spirits. These stores offer their own personal service and flexible opening hours. An independent store owner gets to decide the discounts, pricing and other trading policies that they apply (as long as they operate within the UK trading laws of course). Many independent stores' market share particularly in the food sector have declined due to a rise of the supermarket chain stores opening in many neighbourhoods. Franchised retailers Franchisee retailers have the selling rights in a geographical area and they pay a fee based on sales to the franchiser. Franchisee businesses...

...Graduate Finance 29 August 2012 2012 Drought Economic Impact The persistent heat and drought seem to be the only topic of discussion lately as the rain starved fields beg for some watery relief. Increasing food prices and fuel costs will soon be joining the ever important conversation as the worst drought in 50 years persists, thus having a very negative impact on the already sluggish economy. In my paper, I will discuss some of the economic impact the drought is having on consumers, farmers and ranchers; also what actions the Obama administration will take in order to ease fears for all those involved. The drought has hit corn especially hard during the ever important pollination process thus causing the growing cycle to be very much disrupted. However soybeans which mature later in the season should be better off than corn, although prices are expected to increase for both. Futures prices for corn have increased 60 percent, wheat is up to 41percent and soybeans have risen 24 percent (Lempert).Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, valued at $76.5 billion in 2011, followed by soybeans at $35.8 billion, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (Lempert). It is crisis such as this which reminds the consumers how important and fragile American’s farming industry is. In fact about 60 percent of U.S. farmland and more than one half of American counties have been affected by the drought and are currently designated drought disaster areas (Lempert)...

...The first Study Habits Inventory (SHI) was prepared in 1933 by Wrenn, with a view to survey this feature among students. In 1935 research workers interested in the improvement of study habits, they paid attention to the discovery of effective study techniques and tried to improve study skills and habits of work through ‘how to study’ courses and other systematic procedures. Cuff (1937) carefully derived study-habits inventory and found that it aids in finding the pupils in need of special guidance and helps to identify remedial work for the good and bad study habits of individual cases. Brown and Holtzman (1955) constructed a questionnaire to survey students ‘study habits', as well as their attitudes and motivation towards academic work. Items were compiled from group interviews with good and poor students, existing inventories on study habits, studies using observational and interview techniques and reports on related experiments in the field of learning. Scoring keys based on validity studies in ten colleges were developed. Study habits basically consist of effective methods of study (Sorenson, 1954). Study is the total of all the habits, determined purposes and enforced practices that the individual uses in order to learn. Study is hard work, no easy substitute is available (Armstrong, 1956), Brown and Holtzman (1956) and Srivastava (1967) point out that for good academic success, good study habits and attitudes are important. Some reports stress that certain personality characteristics...
