Indirect Model:
Manufacturer/Producer
-->
Distributor
-->
Retailer
-->
Consumer
Manufacturer/Producer -->
Broker/Agent
--> Retailer
-->
Consumer
The indirect model utilizes one or
more intermediaries between you and the consumer.
With the indirect model where there
is an intermediary involved (e.g. Distributor), the intermediary will purchase
the items from you (thereby paying you upfront) then
turn around and sell it to retailers at a markup price.
Once your items are in the hands of the Distributor you
don't have to worry about capturing payment.
