Concept of Retail
Retail Marketing = All activities from companies and organizations that focus on the direct
delivery of goods, services, and information through all available channels to consumers,
where the goods and services are paid out of the net income of consumers.
● Providing information is a very important part of the business model. Information is
important to make your decision (value). For the goods and services businesses get
paid but for the information they give, they don’t get paid.
Direct Sales = Goods and services are sold directly to the consumer without the intervention
of an intermediary.
As long as albert heijn is selling products to the end user, there’s nobody in between.
When Unilever sells products they’re using companies like Amazon, Albert Heijn to sell their
products to the end user. Although sometimes they’re selling directly: “brands go retail” e.g.
magnum store (unilever) becoming a retailer e.g. lego opening their own store
Unilever (trade marketing) vs Amazon
nespresso store, magnum store, apple store, lego = retail marketing! (now they have stores)
unilever = no retail, trade marketing
nike-cutting out multi brand stores so in their own channels they have the products
● organisations like nestle can have both retail and trade marketing.
