Cardboard World

In order for any industry to exist it must have two basic things, a demand for a particular product and the capacity to supply that product. A company existing within an industry must be able to have both of those things in order to survive.

Although a company may have a wonderful product, even a product that is known to be flawless in all of its many facets, the company must have an efficient method in which to get the product to its customers. If the company fails to do so the company sales will surely whither, and slowly, but surely, the company will deteriorate.

Many corporations in the US have realized this the hard way. Take for example, certain food product companies that depended on distribution companies to get their products to the various supermarkets throughout the nation. Very often, distribution companies had problems reaching certain areas and left those areas entirely without service.

It is indeed true that a company that does not have to worry about making sales to supermarkets only has to make its sales to its distributers and leave it at that, but every capitalist knows that business growth is equivalent to business survival, and a business that is not growing will not be able to survive in the long run. Therefore, it is always necessary to make sure that not only should every existing area be well serviced, but more newer territories should be opened up to expand the range of consumers.

These food product companies were not aware of the damage that these distributors were causing their business for other reasons. When an area is not serviced, consumers become less and less aware of the product's existence, and, therefore, there is no longer any demand for the product. As a result, even the distributors who the companies make their initial sales to, do not have any interest in the product.

It is quite clear that the key to a successful business besides for making a good product is to use distributors that have the capacity to service every area and have outstretched arms throughout the nation to get their product everywhere. Another possibility, although costly, is to invest in a company owned distribution center.

This would be beneficial for numerous reasons. Firstly, shipping packages will be left to the discretion of the company itself, and if their is any matter that arises it is dealt with as an internal affair. Moreover, companies do not need to rely on other distributors and their deficiencies to service areas that may be problematic to service.

However, this is an option only for those who can afford it, but until the company is big enough to have that option available, it is also fine to stick with a packaging and distributing company that is reliable to get company products to where they need to be.
