Building a strong distribution channel
Building a strong distribution channel
To run a successful Fast Moving Consumer Goods company requires you to know your potential market size and the consumer behaviour and then you establish an effective distribution channel to reach them effectively.
To do this you need a good market visualization of the outlets and retailers who sell your products and a way to update the list and be in touch with them to capture relevant sales data and the consumer behaviour towards your products so that you can respond to the market demand effectively.
