What's channel conflict?

• _jal 7y ago
  I make widgets, and contract with you to sell my widgets exclusively in some geographic region. Then I start selling my widgets on my website, and people from your region start buying things via my site. We have a channel conflict. They happen in other ways as well.

    Thx. So how does Costco manage this?
    • phamilton 7y ago
      Often by selling Costco specific versions of things. For example, Google Wifi is normally available in 1 packs and 3 packs, but Costco offers a 4 pack. It's literally just a 1 pack and 3 pack put into a bigger box, but it sells for $299 vs the 3 pack at $259.

        Yes this specifically I bought the 4 pack and it was weird that it was packaged 3 & 1
