Describe the reseller market. Why do businesses use the services of business product distributors?

What will be an ideal response?


The reseller market includes retail and wholesale businesses that buy finished goods and resell them for a profit. Retailers sell to final consumers, and wholesalers sell to retailers and other organizational customers.

Business product distributors are wholesalers who buy business products and resell them to business customers. These distributors often carry much stock and have sales forces that call on business customers. Businesses that wish to purchase items typically buy from these local distributors rather than from large manufacturers.
