Ever wondered how Santa delivers all those toys to every child in the world in just one night? “Magic,” we were always told. But what we were never told was that jolly old St. Nicholas also runs an exceptionally lean operation up at the North Pole. Take a look at this clever VSM, drawn by Jordan S. Kempler of TMAC in Texas. Every gift starts at the North Pole Toy Supply Depot and makes its way through Receiving and the rest of the value stream before ending up in homes around the world. And don’t forget the coal for the naughty list – that’s on here too.

The distribution of The Hammock Source products takes place through their own web property at dfohome.com and through third-party retail channels (such as local beach shops) and third-party online third-party online channels (such amazon.com and hayneedle.com). The Hammock Source does not maintain any of their own retail locations. Their approach to distribution seems to be fairly broad; they distribute their products to whatever company wants to sell them, either in that company’s physical store or online, while simultaneously selling Hammock Source products and complementary products on the dfohome.com site. They avoid channel conflicts by selling their own products at similar prices as their retailers.
Questions
1. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages to using the broad distribution strategy for identifying places to sell The Hammock Source’s products?
