Why do manufacturers offer seasonal discounts to channel members? Provide an example of how one would work.
What will be an ideal response?
To encourage buyers to stock inventory earlier than their normal demand would require, manufacturers often use seasonal discounts. A firm such as Toro that manufactures lawn mowers and snow throwers offers seasonal discounts to encourage wholesalers and retailers to stock up on lawn mowers in January and February and snow throwers in July and August - five or six months before the seasonal demand by ultimate consumers.
