Business-to-Business Channels
Many countries house large industrial agent and merchant companies. The
manufacturer's marketing team selects those that reach the company's target market
most effectively. Local conditions and considerations, including legal restrictions, the
availability of delivery systems, and the potential to create quality partnerships, affect
these decisions. International marketing channels may include a series of different
wholesalers and retailers. Facilitating agencies assist in various aspects of negotiation,
financing, documentation, physical distribution, and warehousing of products
internationally.
International Marketing Channel Structures (5Cs) 1. Cost
Some costs are incurred when establishing the channel and choosing
members. Some costs are associated with maintaining the system, which
typically center on encouraging channel members to remain members of the
system.
.
2. Coordination
Coordinating the marketing efforts that must take place at each level of
the system constitutes an important part of managing the international
marketing. Decisions are made as to what promotional and logistical activities
each member will perform. Marketing channel coordination requires an efficient
international distribution process.
3. Coverage
Marketers examine questions pertaining to the extent to which channel
members cover certain territories. Channel member roles differ according to the
country being served, and as a result, distribution strategies will likely vary from
country to country. When addressing coverage, international marketers consider
intensive, selective, and exclusive distribution strategies.
4. Cooperation
Although it is difficult to assess, channel leaders attempt to assess the
cooperation of potential channel members prior to the formation of a formalized
marketing channel. The reputation of potential members, along with evidence of
previous marketing success in targeted regions or countries, becomes critical.
The extent to which marketing channel members simply trust one another
becomes the primary determinant of cooperation between parties in a marketing
channel.

DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT
5. Control
Channel leaders can consolidate international distribution systems in
order to maintain better control and cooperation among channel members.
International marketers lose some control over the physical movement of goods
when goods are shipped domestically. Monitoring the movement of goods and
ensuring their safe delivery brings about extra expenses.
