TOPIC 1: Warehousing and Transportation
Can you think of an example of a product for which the warehouse or the method of transportation is the channel leader? You might need to use little web searching to find examples. Think creatively for both online delivery and physical delivery.
Comment on classmates' posts as appropriate.
TOPIC 2: Pricing Strategies
There is no shortage of pricing approaches, and as customers, we are exposed to all of them at some time or another in our purchasing processes. Choose one of the pricing approaches discussed in the readings and discuss a product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.
Many of you will be tempted to use promotional pricing since it is the easiest to demonstrate. So promotional pricing is not "for sale" (pun intended). Pick one of the other approaches for this topic.
Comment on your classmates' posts as appropriate, especially where you note that you as a consumer may have picked a different approach. Remember, there are no rights or wrongs in this topic. Each of us as consumers can view pricing differently.
