There are several reasons why brands should leverage distribution channels to grow and scale including reaching a wider audience, enhancing brand awareness, improving customer experience, and increasing sales. What are specific growth levers for expanding distribution channels?

According to e-commerce expert Jamin Arvig, three growth levers are essential: online marketplaces, direct-to-consumer, and brick-and-mortar stores. When determining if a marketplace fits your brand, Jamin recommends listing the channels where you want to sell your products. Amazon, eBay, and Etsy are some of the most popular online marketplaces to consider. Once you have chosen your channels or marketplaces, the next step is distributing your top-selling products, especially if you have many SKUs. Finally, partner with experts and mentors who can assist you in navigating your path — assisting you in making strategic decisions, better managing your time, and bringing your vision to reality.
