What is Multi-Channel Distribution?
Multi-channel distribution is simply the sale and transfer of product through multiple channels of distribution - typically both direct and indirect channels. Multi-channel distribution is a popular choice in today's world because it increases product availability in the sense that people can buy where they want to buy.
It also can help us to maintain some margin on those direct sales. We can gain a higher profit from those units that we sell directly.
