Speedof boat in downstream = (x + y) km/h x+ y = 32 …(i) 

Speed of boat in upstream = (x – y) km/h

x – y = 28 …(ii)

Add. Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 60

x = 30 km/h

Q:

Selecting and managing marketing channels :

How are the channel members managed and motivated, once they are selected?

Answer

These days channel members are being accepted by companies as their partners. The intermediaries are even being asked to integrate their business with the companies which results in lesser costs, greater efficiency and improved customer service. Corporates like Airtel are adopting PRM (Partner relationship management) software to give that added advantage to their supply chain. They organise rewards and recognition programs for their channel partners and also organise proper channels though which partners can vent any of their grievances relating to payments, violation of codes etc.

Q:

Promotions and promotion mix :

What about the budget? We want our promotional campaigns to be cost effective enough. I don’t think we can afford celebrity endorsements as of now!

Answer

No problem. We can use network marketing as an alternative. The company already has its strong network of customers who can spread the word about its products. They can encourage referral rewards for say every three customers who will buy our product or avail our service.


We can also announce a contest for the customers to buy the product and win a chance to get himself broadcasted for the product advertisement. We can ask them to send in their photo along with the contest application form which they get alongwith the product they buy. So we don’t have to pay them as we would otherwise have to pay to a celebrity.
