This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide Business Model Innovation (BMI): Scalable Business Models PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding the significance of multiple distribution channels in achieving scalability for businesses. It begins with a clear pattern, stating that successful companies operate with various distribution methods. This is followed by a definition that emphasizes the role of diverse channels in enhancing scalability through increased sales opportunities.
The details section highlights examples of well-known companies, such as Google and Apple, which have strategically expanded their distribution channels. This expansion is crucial as it allows businesses to avoid the pitfalls of cannibalizing existing sales while simultaneously spreading overhead costs. The implication here is that by diversifying distribution, companies can maximize profit margins and drive overall growth.
An illustrative example is provided through Copenhagen Seafood A/S, a supplier of fresh fish. Initially focused on high-end restaurants, the company ventured into retail sales, allowing them to reach individual customers. This approach not only reduced waste by addressing specific customer needs, but also created a new revenue stream. The example underscores the practical application of the discussed pattern, showing how businesses can leverage additional channels to tap into new customer bases.
The concluding remark reinforces the idea that additional channels can help businesses expand their clientele and uncover new opportunities. This insight is particularly valuable for executives considering how to enhance their business models for better scalability and profitability. The slide serves as a compelling reminder of the importance of strategic distribution in modern business practices.
