A local dermatologist has developed a new line of body scrub products for sensitive skin. She is unsure if she should sell her products through dermatologists’ offices or through retail chains such as Sephora. Which explanation best describes why the marketing channel decision is as important as pricing and product features?

Question 5 options:

because one channel may want a greater percentage of the sale than the other channel

because place communicates to the customer something about the product’s value proposition, which includes the benefits and price

because it might be easier for her to make a distribution deal with Sephora, a national chain, as opposed to calling on individual doctor officers that may take too much time and money.

because the skin scrub is like so many other products in that product category that selling through dermatologists offices would give it the aura of being an exclusive product.

Lululemon Athletica (Lululemon) is a yoga and athletic attire company, with over 200 stores and a

presence in 14 countries. In recent years it has been faced with a number of public relations nightmares,

including a recall of 17% of its Luon pants due to excessive sheerness. Additional issues arose, when

founder and former CEO Chip Wilson made a public statement tying the sheer yoga pants issue to the

size of the woman who tried to wear the pants, stirring a public outcry. A former employee confirmed that

part of the brand strategy was to avoid the selling of larger-sized clothing. Additional outrage arose when

women tried to return the defective pants, and they were asked to bend over to demonstrate the

sheerness of the product. Additionally, investor concerns arose and lawsuits were filed due to executive

bonuses that occurred just prior to the recall.
