– The experience of the retailers, including their length of operation and their expertise with the product or product category.
– The geographic location of the points of sale, ensuring their accessibility and a coherent distribution in relation to the desired locations.
– Compliance with legal obligations regarding distribution, including mandatory channels and specific precautions.
– The dynamism of the retailers, measured by their growth history, their use of new technologies, and their commitment to launching new products.
