What Is Stopping Brands from Adopting Selective Distribution? Three Common Myths Dispelled

by Becket McGrath

Selective distribution offers brands a ready-made and well established means of ensuring that their products are sold in a consistent and high-quality sales environment across Europe. It does so by limiting sales of a brand’s products to a network of resellers that meet its specified selective distribution criteria, with all others placed on the other side of the network’s protective moat. Resellers who commit to support a brand, for example through investment in point of sale materials, marketing spend, or staff training, are rewarded, while access to products by less committed retailers is cut off. As a result, the brand’s products are presented in the best light and competition between brands is enhanced.
