Answer to Question 1

The producer to consumer channel includes no marketing intermediaries with the product distribution coming from the producer directly to the consumer. The producer to retailer to consumer is when a middleman, a retailer, buys from producers and sells to consumers. Producer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer is a channel that many consumer goods follow as they pass through wholesalers to retailers. Producer to agent to wholesaler to retailer to consumer is when producers use agents to reach wholesalers and eventually the consumer.
