How Distribution Is Arranged To Provide Customer Convenience? There are several ways in which businesses arrange distribution to provide customer convenience. The methods used may vary slightly based on what sort of business is being operated. For example‚ those who are running an e-commerce business will have different techniques than those who have a standard "real world" business headquarters. Also‚ different real world businesses may have different techniques dependent upon the size of the
