Majority of retailers in rural
market do have a storage
facility available but in a very
small ratio so they have to
buy only those things which
are of prime importance and
which is in current demand.
LACK OF ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE: Even though the rural
retailers are well informed but they still lack the knowledge of new
product launched. They can only get this information from the
wholesellers.
TRANSPORTATION: The rural market is facing the problem of
transportation as even today the interiors are not well supplied with
products.
STORAGE: In rural shops there is very
small ratio of storage as the shops are small
and they can only buy what is important.
INCOME: Another major problem is the
lack of funds. They don’t have money to buy
the products as they earn less so they buy what
is affordable to them.
Marketer should supply their products directly
to the rural retailers rather than taking help of
wholesellers.
Marketer should employ the women for
packing their products.
Develop special sizes for household products.
Increase awareness for the product.
Marketers must trade off the distribution cost
with incremental market penetration.
