Progress Assessment
1. Rack jobbers furnish racks full of merchandise like
toys and health and beauty aids to retailers. They
display the items and sell them on consignment,
keeping title to the goods until they are sold. Drop
shippers solicit orders and have the merchandise
shipped directly from producer to the buyer. They
own the merchandise but do not handle it, stock it,
or deliver it.
2. Intensive distribution includes convenience items
such as gum, magazines, candy, and cigarettes. Se-
lective distribution includes items such as applianc-
es, furniture, and clothing. Exclusive distribution
includes specialty products such as fly-fishing gear
or equipment for snow skiing.
