What is defined as the method used to get a product from the manufacturer to the end-user?

Logistics system
Distribution channel
Sales strategy
Market analysis

The correct answer is: Distribution channel

The term that describes the method used to get a product from the manufacturer to the end-user is the distribution channel. A distribution channel encompasses all the different pathways or routes that products take from the manufacturer to various endpoints, such as retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers. This can include various intermediaries, logistics, or sales strategies aimed at efficiently delivering the product to its final destination. In contrast, while the logistics system focuses on the specifics of storage, transport, and inventory management, it is just one aspect of the broader distribution channel. The sales strategy pertains to the approaches and techniques used to sell the product but does not specifically define how the product moves through the marketplace. Market analysis refers to the research conducted to understand market conditions and consumer behavior, rather than the mechanics of product distribution. Each of these terms plays a role in the overall process, but the distribution channel specifically refers to the delivery method of the product itself.
