Product distribution is probably the most difficult step to set up among the 4 Ps.

Well, it takes a lot of time and significant energy to build and optimize a distribution channel. And we have to consider several factors that will influence our decision. The best distribution channel is the one that:

Delivers a product that customers want.

Delivers a product where customers want it.

And allows customers to have the product at the right time.

A product must be positioned where its target customers are likely to find it.

A great-looking store, with prepared sales personnel, and optimal product placing can have a huge impact on sales.

Great distribution channels deliver products at the right time. Nobody likes it when an item is out of stock or when there is a long waiting period for its delivery. Companies want to be efficient with the inventory they keep as it represents a cost. An optimized logistics flow can be beneficial for both customers and producers.
