Selecting and Managing Channels in Business Model Canvas

Selecting and Managing Channels in Business Model Canvas INTRODUCTION TO THE CHANNELS BUILDING BLOCKThis building block defines how an organization communicates with and provides value to its chosen customer segment. Channels are the touch points through which an organization liaises with its customers and as such, play a huge role in defining the customer experience. Channels can be categorized as marketing, sales or distribution channels.Channels and Customer Relationships are directly linked to the ‘how’ of a company linking with its target customer segment. Most companies have a different medium to attract a customer and separate strategies on how to retain them. It is advisable to list separate channels for different customer segments if your organization is targeting more than one.Before the 1990’s, companies were severely limited in their choice of channel. In fact, there was only one channel being used; the direct channel in which a customer would go to a score with salespeople and physical distribution occurred. Now companie s have the choice of using physical channels or web/mobile channels to deliver their value proposition to their customer segment.The distribution channel represents one of the quarters of the Marketing Mix and represents how an organization will make its product or service available to the end consumer for consumption or use. A Distribution channel can be direct, which means that the manufacturer sells directly to the customer, or it can contain intermediaries who may buy and resell the product, in the case of merchants, or represent the manufacturer without owning the product, in the case of Agents and brokers. Organizations have to take into account multiple factors when deciding between owning their channels, establishing partners to provide channels or employing an amalgam of both.An organization which sells bulbs to lighthouses can have access to a multitude of channels such as a website where lighthouse attendants can view and purchase different kinds of bulbs, advertisements placed through Google Ads are also one of the channels. If the organization outsources after-sales services to another company, this company also represents another channel that links the company to the end-user.A well-thought out Distribution strategy can become a source of competitive advantage for your organization, as is the case for giants such as Dell and Amazon. If your Distribution Channel is customer-centric as well, that is, it is tailored to convenience the end-user, it will be even more successful.  How to select a distribution channelWhen selecting a distribution channel, five elements need to be taken into consideration to ensure a good match for your business;The number of customer segments or the size of the market you are targeting.Investment required by the distribution channel â€" these will include an analysis of the different associated costs such as absolute value cost, cost per customer, fixed and variable costs and the profitability each channel option brings to the table.Whether the product is standard, in which case the same version will appeal across customer profiles and can be sold through an external channel or a non-standardized product which needs to be tailored to the customer needs and for which the company needs to have direct contact with the customer.Amount of control required over the distribution channel â€" the distribution channel can be characterized by open communication and free-flow of information or, if there is a possibility of competition from the distributor, then a much more closed relationship.It is also important to take into account how long a healthy relationship will take to be established with the distributor as well as the length of the relationship as well; factors which contribute to the flexibility of the channel.Functions of channelsListed below are some of the purposes of a typical channel;A medium through which an organization can educate its chosen customer segments about the products and services it provides.Providing customers with an opportunity to study and evaluate the organizations value proposition.Providing customers with the facility to buy their chosen products or services.Providing the customer with the Value Proposition.Providing the customer with after sales services.CHANNEL PHASESThere are five phases through which a channel passes. A channel can be covering more than one of these phases at a time.Phase 1: AwarenessHow do we educate customers about the characteristics of the products and services we have? This is the marketing and advertising phase. It is how you let your customer know about your value proposition.Phase 2: EvaluationHow can we aid customers in evaluating our Value Proposition? This is the promotion or ‘Try me before you buy me’ phase. The customer will evaluate, read about or use your product and form an opinion about it. A good company will educate customers with other competitors in the market and help them to evaluate their choices. In t his way, you make your value proposition clearer to them and why you are a better option than your competitors.Phase 3: PurchaseHow can we help customers in buying their preferred product or service? This is the sales process and denoted the dollars exchanged for a particular goods and services.Phase 4: DeliveryHow do we deliver the promised value proposition to the customer?  This is the fulfillment stage and defines how the product will reach the customer.Phase 5: After SalesHow can we provide After Sales customer care and support? This phase creates Advocates for your products and services amongst your target segment. This stage provides a person for the customer to call when they have a problem or question about the product. The higher the value of the product, the more likely it is that he/ she will require After Sales support.CHANNEL TYPESThis is the bridge between the customer and the company. There are different channel types.Own ChannelsA direct channel will include your s ales force that would go after your customer segment and bring them in. A website is another direct channel that can be under the company’s control.You may also have your store, however the customer must choose to go to the store and then you can sell to him/ her, but this will be indirect selling.By employing your own channel, you will have a direct relationship with the customer, and you will have higher profit margins. However, you will require more investment to create the infrastructure to deliver your product to the market, and the production to market loop will be slower. Additionally partners leverage long established relationships with retailers that you will not have access to.Partner ChannelsThis is an indirect channel. In this case, the company will not sell to the customer directly but through an intermediary.The company can do this by placing their products or making their services available at the partner store.Wholesalers are also partner channels. Wineries create partnerships with wholesalers in different countries to sell their wine to the end customer.With a partner channel, there will be a lower margin on the product but it would get to the market quicker, and there will be lesser investment required in infrastructure.Heineken delivers their beer to wholesalers, bars and shops, supermarkets as well as retail chains such as Gall and Gall, a retail chain of liquor with its distribution channels. Alternatively, Heineken also delivers to its network of bars to which it delivers directly. Hence, Heineken uses different Distribution channels to reach its customers.Apple has its network of stores as well as premium resellers. They also sell their products through mobile networks, retail chains, and websites. Hence, there are different distribution channels in use at the same time with varying profitability. Their stores are extremely well-developed as well as experiential for any consumer that walks in. This may impact the profitability of the s tore, but it also allows Apple to communicate an entire experience to its consumer, and through this experience, establish a direct relationship with the customer.ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES OF ALTERNATIVE CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTIONDirect distributionThis can be done through personal selling, the internet, telephone or mail.Personal SellingIn the case of personal selling, there is a lot of conveniences afforded to the customer including personal demonstration, home delivery, and satisfaction guarantees. The cost of a direct selling channel, especially if it is based on personal selling is low and can be easily afforded by an individual starting a business. Personal selling is a wonderful way to establish a strong relationship with the customer and gain insight into big customers’ preferences. The Return on Investment in personal selling is also higher, and the company can exert control over the brand image and positioning of the company.However, if the organization is bigger, personal selling costs can be prohibitive. This particular distribution channel is also limited in its reach and creates too much dependence on people who may leave the organization and take their clients with them.The InternetThe internet, on the other hand, provides a low-cost channel to target a wide customer base. It also provides convenience to customers in the form of instant access, ease of use and personalization. It is also a wonderful source of information for the customers is available 24/7 and gives them the chance to establish two-way communication with the company by letting them provide feedback and share preferences.Conversely, the internet is an impersonal tool that does not allow the customer and the company to establish human contact. There is also the possibility of annoying customers by sending them too much spam. It also limits how the customer can directly interact with the product and requires an infrastructural investment. There is also a lack of after-sales service opportunities.TelephoneThe telephone is an inexpensive ad efficient way to establish direct contact with the customer. It is also a good way to establish a relationship, create leads and reach customers in remote areas. On the other hand, the telephone, due to being outsourced to third world countries and used as a medium for marketing may seem intrusive and annoying to customers.Mail / EmailMail is another direct medium that is inexpensive and can reach a large audience. It is also easily customizable to different customer segments and allows for easy alteration. It is a wonderful way to create a brand image, communicate innovations or new products and foster good will. Again there are challenges with this medium such as the possibility that customers consider it junk mail or choose to never peruse its contents. This medium in general has low ROI.Indirect DistributionIndirect distribution can be carried out through retailers, agents/ brokers/ reps and distributors.RetailersRetaile rs come with many positives such as already established infrastructures of stores, webpages, and aggressive marketing strategies. Retailers have their established brands that can provide a bolster to the already existing brand. There is also personal service and after sales services provided by the retailer, as well as a being a source of market and consumer intelligence.This channel, however, leads to lower margins and loss of control. There is a disconnect from the end customer, and the retailer may be stocking competing brands side by side. This is a complex channel that can be expensive for a new business.Agents and BrokersAgents, brokers or reps provide personal selling and have established relationships with customers. They have a broad network, lesser distribution costs and are a source of market intelligence. They also assume the role of promoting the product, as well as share the burden of overhead costs.Conversely, this channel is more sensitive to pricing, difficult to co ntrol and train. They may represent competing brands and maintain loyalty to the highest selling brand. This channel also means the company has less control over its brand image and no opportunity to establish a direct relationship with the client.DistributorsFinally, distributors have a focused customer base, assume inventory risk, have a wider reach and are technically trained. However, they carry competing brands, have a say in the final pricing of your product and your company does not have control over the final look of the product to the customer. They also have low customer intelligence and represent an additional investment.CASE STUDY © Entrepreneurial Insights based on the concept of Alex OsterwalderIn this article, we will look at 1) an introduction to the Channels building block, 2) channel phases, 3) channel types, 4) advantages and disadvantages of alternative channels of distribution, and 5) a case study.INTRODUCTION TO THE CHANNELS BUILDING BLOCKThis building block defines how an organization communicates with and provides value to its chosen customer segment.

Prejudice Paper - Free Essay Example

The Prejudice Paper I have chosen the topic The everyday nature of prejudice. There are many forms of prejudice. Some people are just born with or raised with a prejudice. During the war, Americans became prejudiced against the Japanese. They used racial slurs and violence to get rid of and exclude the Japanese. They were all moved to internment camps and some were killed. Families were torn apart. The Japanese were put through many hardships, and when they were able to return, they were only slowly accepted. The three main types of prejudice are Racism, Sexism, and Ageism. The first type of prejudice is Racism. This is a belief that you are better than other people based solely on their race or religion. I am sorry to say that racism was very prominent in the United States, and though it has calmed down a bit, is still a problem today. Some white people still hate black people and Im sure there are some blacks who hate whites, too. Religions have also been attacked. The Mormons w ere persecuted and forced to move west when they were rejected by other people. The Jews were attacked for just being Jews. When this was happening in Germany, the U. S. A tried to stop it. However, at the same time, the United States were detaining the Japanese. That is just not right. The second type of prejudice is Sexism. This is the belief that you are better or smarter than another person based on whether they are a man or woman. This form of prejudice is mainly found in boys and men. They feel that, because they are mostly stronger, that they are overly superior to women. That is not the case. I have been looking around and I find that girls mainly get better grades in school. Also, just because someone is a different sex, it doesnt make them any less important or inferior. Women beat men in about half of the Olympic sports. Men are usually better weight lifters and women are usually better at gymnastics. These are just generalities though. They are not set in stone. Th ird, but not any less significant, is the prejudice Ageism. The definition for Ageism is discrimination against persons of a certain age group. This is like a young teen disliking a person just because they are old or young. The reason I say teen is because that is where I believe most of the Ageism comes from. This is not a major problem though. In fact, it is relatively tame in comparison to the first two discussed prejudices. It is also used slightly in theme parks. The managers of the park dont want little kids on some rides even if they are tall enough. I think that Ageism is not a very prominent thing in our society today. Its not visible to me, but it is still there. In conclusion, I would like to say that we, the people of America, need to understand our differences and accept them. To carry prejudices against other people just for being different hurts all of us. We should remember past history lessons of prejudice and never let it happen again. We dont want to be tre ated unfairly, so why do we treat others unfairly? I would like to remind you of my main message which is this: the three main types of prejudice are Racism, Sexism, and Ageism. I hope that you never feel like you are better than anyone else who is a different race, religion, sex, or age than you are. Dont let something that silly tear people apart.

The Salman Khan s Speech - 1023 Words

Ingrid Hernandez Professor Alfred English 1303 September 30, 2014 Salman Khan Strong Response: Let’s use video to reinvent education Salman Khan was featured in a TEDTalk convention to deliver his speech, â€Å"Let’s use video to reinvent education†. As founder of Khan Academy, he reaches out to an audience about a technological innovation that can transform students’ learning. He effectively focuses his speech on how the use of online teaching videos can create one global wide classroom. As technology continues to advance over the years, Khan has pioneered a new educational approach that can benefit students and educators worldwide. Although Khan successfully informs the audience by setting himself up as a credible source on how online educational videos have the potential to revolutionize the educational system and prove to be an effective component in the learning process, Khan weakens his claim by dismissing the different learning styles of students and overlooking the financial aspect to using this technology. Khan begins his speech by signifying how the Khan Academy was established and why it can work for all individuals. The Khan Academy is known for its notorious online educational videos that are used by students all over the world. His idea derived from when he was â€Å"tutoring [his] cousins in New Orleans, remotely† (Khan 1:09).

The other department to involve in the project is the Agricultural department to help in giving advice on the appropriate planting methods and the nutrients requirements for the trees. The other stakeholders will be the campus students’ body through participating at various levels of the project.

The student learners will also form part of the project stakeholders to help in the project development. The role of the student learner will be to observe and learn from the project’s activities, which will be very encouraging to the project implementers. Having students interested in the project will be a great achievement for the implementers, which will encourage them to work harder to achieve the project goals. Benefit to UA Students The project will be very beneficial to the UA students especially the ones that will participate fully in the implementation of the project. For instance, students who will engage in planting trees will have knowledge of the importance of environmental conservation. Students from the Department of Natural resources and agriculture will carry out their practical and field lesions on the campus as the environment will provide enough flora. The other students that will benefit from the project are the ones studying botanical classes especially the topic of classification. The students will carry out their field work inside the campus and make reliable conclusions. Students always go to other places and forts to carry out research on plants behaviour but with the implementation of this project, they will just carry most of their experiments inside the UA University.
