Distributors in Oman and Saudi Arabia

A distribution company is a company which ships manufactured products to the retailers. They have ware house and distribution centres to carry out their business. In recent times, however, manufacturers and retailers have established their own network which has reduced the need of distributors.

Distribution companies in Saudi Arabia

The distribution companies facilitate the marketing of industries in the following ways

1. Employment of distributor representatives

In order to promote sale, food distributors in Oman employ representatives who conduct meetings with the retailer and introduces them to new and existing products. Distributing free samples is an effective way of marketing the product. These products are brought by product representatives and they can come up with strategies to promote the product in collaboration with the retailer.

2. Promotions by lowering the price of products

It is a good marketing strategy to offer discounted price for products for a limited period of time. The retailer, in turn, will be encouraged to put the product on discount which would draw the attention of customers resulting in increased sale of the product.  

3. Distribution of marketing materials

Distribution companies in Saudi Arabia deliver coupons, brochures and other marketing materials to promote sale. It is necessary to have the requisite infrastructure to bear the expenses of designing and printing the brochures.

4. Promotion of companies through strong online presence

Newer companies which have a greater knowledge about online sales are giving a tough competition to the older companies who are ignorant about its workings. They are therefore finding it troublesome to compete with their rivals and establish a strong online presence
