Today, the process of bringing goods to a market only appears infinitely more complicated than the past. We have created systems of distribution, job titles, and invoked the science of marketing. But, over the past 3500 years, very little has changed in the world of commerce. The burden of shepherding a product from its inception, through its purchase, is still singular.
The element that has changed however is who bears the burden of accountability. The ever changing world of retail has returned this burden to the manufacturer. Even the hottest products can turn cold overnight.
It is no longer enough to make a terrific product. A manufacturer must know the retail business better than the buyer does. Acquiring that knowledge can be unusually intimidating, utterly necessary, yet ultimately rewarding.
This kind of learning requires investigation skills, and the expansion of the buyer/manufacturer relationship. While these talents might seem daunting, there is no choice but to simply take the plunge.
Once the buyer sees that the manufacturer is working towards greater accountability, increased sales, and improved margins, there will be smooth sailing.
