In any business transaction, it is always beneficial to simplify the purchasing process. Sometimes, this means dealing directly with the distributor to save time and make the sales process more efficient. A direct connection with the distributor can bring a wide range benefits for your business.
With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the benefits of dealing directly with a distributor:
No More Middlemen- in many situations, middlemen are not really needed. If you can get products from the distributor directly, there’s no reason to use the service of a middleman.
Lower Costs Of Distribution- any party between you and the distributor will increase the cost of the product. The burden of high distribution costs will eventually fall on your customers and they could find a better deal somewhere else.
Avoid Black Market Practice- some people hoard products that are in high demand, such as medical face masks during a crisis, to increase price in the market. By contacting the distributor directly, you can avoid interacting with people who are involved in black market practices.
More Benefits To Customers- authorised distributors often offer deals that can be passed on to customers. These include price cuts and excellent after-sales services from the manufacturer. Many middlemen don’t pass benefits to end-users. If your business is selling products to end-users, their satisfaction is crucial to ensure loyalty.
Avoid Getting Counterfeit Products- untrustworthy middlemen are smart enough not to sell only fake, counterfeit products if they want to stay in business. It’s more likely for them to mix genuine and counterfeit products to boost profits. Customers could easily tell that they are getting counterfeits based on overall visual and quality differences.
Avoid Expired Products- products need to be thrown away if their expiration date has lapsed. Untrustworthy middlemen capitalise on the ignorance of business owners, by replacing the expiry date information on the packaging.
Continuously Available Inventory- middlemen may fail to replenish exhausted stock, causing shortages in the market. If you contact the manufacturer or the authorised distributor, you can be sure that products are always available from the assembly line.
Proper After Sales Services- customers always expect that they get excellent after sales services after buying a product. If you source the product directly from the authorised distributor, you can make sure that the courtesy is extended to the end-users.
