Whois & Analysis for stockinthechannel.com

Wholesaling, jobbing, or distributing is the sale of goods or merchandise to retailers; to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users; or to other wholesalers and related subordinated services.

In general, it is the sale of goods to anyone other than a standard consumer.

Consumer electronics or home electronics are electronic or digital equipment intended for everyday use, typically in private homes.

Consumer electronics include devices used for entertainment (flatscreen TVs, DVD players, DVD movies, iPods, video games, remote control cars, etc), communications (telephones, cell phones, e-mail-capable laptops, etc), and home-office activities (e.g., desktop computers, printers, paper shredders, etc).

In British English, they are often called brown goods by producers and sellers, to distinguish them from "white goods" such as washing machines and refrigerators.

In the 2010s, this distinction is not always present in large big box consumer electronics stores, such as Best Buy, which sell both entertainment, communications, and home office devices and kitchen appliances such as refrigerators.

Consumer electronics stores differ from professional audio stores in that the former sells consumer-grade electronics for private use, whereas the latter sells professional-grade electronics designed for use by audio engineers and audio technicians.

Distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of the marketing mix.

Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for the consumer or business user that needs it.

This can be done directly by the producer or service provider, or using indirect channels with intermediaries.

In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need.

In retailing, products are called merchandise.

In manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and sold as finished goods.

A service is another common product type.

Trade, or commerce, involves the transfer of goods and/or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money.

A network that allows trade is called a market.
