    Some of a Coca Cola bottling company's marketing channels would be:
    - selling through grocery stores in bottle/can form
    - selling through convenience stores in bottle/can form
    - selling through restaurants in bulk form
    - selling through soda machines in bottle/can form

    Main types of channel:

    - Value added Marketer(VAM) or Value added Reseller (VAR), e.g. Brickworks sells bricks to builder, who builds house and sells to ultimate customer.

    - Online/Web e.g. Amazon.com

    - Retail outlets e.g. groceries from the store

    - Wholesale outlets e.g. cash & carry warehouses where you buy full case quantities

    - Direct - where you buy direct from the manufacturer

    - Dealer networks - e.g. automobiles - like VAM/VARs, they add value by providing service


    But any route to market along which a product travels from supplier to end user is termed a Channel, and new ones spring up every day.

    Was there one type of Channel in particular that you need more info on?
