Branded manufacturers (manufacturers of branded products) are developing three sales channels that co-exist and each channel has its own unique strategy. They will continue to sell via traditional retailers and also on Rakutan or Amazon (marketplaces), but are increasingly adding emphasis to their direct-to-
consumer channel.

WORKING TOGETHER WITH MARKETPLACES
Forrester, February 2013 “The Marketing Case For A Branded Sales Channel ”
PwC research found that more than a third of consumers globally have purchased products directly from branded manufacturers. Forrester research reports that a third of consumers are interested in
buying directly from branded manufacturers for the reasons listed below:
Sources: PWC, Demystifying the online shopper 10 myths of multichannel retailing, January 2013:
UNIQUE SELECTION
Manufacturers are able to provide their full product range and increasingly value-added services or special SKUs
BRAND LOYALTY
Consumers want to buy direct
when they love the brand
WARRANTIES
Consumers believe they can
get better warranties and
guarantees from manufacturers
COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS
Marketplaces often have knock-
off products mixed with
brands due to inventory co-
mingling
UNIQUE BUNDLES
Since manufacturers
control the assortment, they can offer unique
bundles and bundle pricing
AND/OR
KNOWLEDGE
Consumers believe manufacturers
know their products best and will provide better advice and support
WHY WILL COMSUMERS BUY FROM MANUFACTURES DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF RAKUTEN, AMAZON OR ALIBABA?
