Distribution

The clothing that is donated at the fashion show will be distributed to local community organizations that have contact with the teenagers and their families. The Facebook page for the Dress the Juvenile fashion show can also be contacted for requests of clothing. Bulletins will be posted at government Goodwill stores.

“Channels of distribution within countries vary greatly from nation to nation. There are large differences in the numbers and types of intermediaries serving each country market, and in the transportation infrastructure serving these intermediaries. For example, whereas large-scale retail chains dominate the U.S. scene, much retailing in other countries is done by many small, independent retailers.” (Kotler 501)

“A long-standing charge is that greedy channel intermediaries mark up prices beyond the value of their services. Critics charge that there are too many intermediaries, that intermediaries are inefficient, or that they provide unnecessary or duplicate services. As a result, distribution costs too much, and consumers pay for these excessive costs in the form of higher prices.” (Kotler 512-513)
