The consignment model and paying for shelf space are the exception in retail though, not the rule.
They tend to exist only where there is a huge asymmetry in power between retailer (usually large chains) and suppliers.
- PeterisP 5y agoIsn't most of retail done by large chains with a huge asymmetry in power?
- mthoms 5y agoDepends on (1) what country/region you live in and (2) what brand you're talking about. For example: Yes, Safeway may be huge, but so is Procter and Gamble. Is there an asymmetry there? I'm not sure. Anyways, large chains don't deal exclusively in consignment either.
