Which of the following best describes indirect distribution?

  1. Directly selling to consumers

  2. Utilizing intermediaries for product delivery

  3. Manufacturing goods in-house

  4. Offering products online only

The correct answer is: Utilizing intermediaries for product delivery

Indirect distribution refers to the process of getting a product to consumers through intermediaries rather than directly from the manufacturer. This can involve various middlemen such as wholesalers, retailers, or agents who facilitate the transfer of goods from the producer to the end-user. Utilizing intermediaries can enhance market reach, simplify logistics, and allow manufacturers to focus on production and innovation rather than the complexities of direct sales. The other options reflect other concepts. Directly selling to consumers outlines a direct distribution model, where the manufacturer takes control over the entire sales process. Manufacturing goods in-house does not necessarily pertain to the distribution method but rather to production practices. Offering products online only indicates a sales channel but does not capture the essence of indirect distribution, which focuses on the use of intermediaries. Understanding the nuances between these concepts is crucial for grasping distribution strategies in business management.
