Start with the customers
Route to market intelligence involves identifying the depth of understanding that a company has to its customers, their expectations, behaviors, and needs. All route to market decisions largely depends on this kind of detailed information. To gain a better idea of what their customers want, businesses must interact directly with the customers through focused interviews, customer surveys, or prototype testing. Then, understand what makes the company’s products or services add value to the customers. It is also critical to evaluate the best channels to reach out to the target customers.
Low-cost channels for improved profitability
Sales is an area of business that can have the greatest impact on profitability, especially if it includes selling some of the products through lower-cost channels. The challenge here is to understand which channels can be used for different customers. While some products and sales transactions require more complex and expensive channels, others can be maintained by lower- cost channels such as telesales. Therefore, utilizing the correct channels can significantly affect profitability.

Balance between market penetration and control
Using a global market coverage route to market strategy with a mix of channels can result in channel conflict, margin erosion, and even dissatisfied customers. This is especially true when channels are not tightly controlled. To stay in control, it is crucial to identify these potential risks. For instance, several luxury brands maintain quality, stability, exclusiveness and, ultimately, high margins on a defined segment of the population. At the same time, they forgo the fact that they could probably sell ten times as many products as they manufacture, but at a cost to brand image and market position.
Products sold and channel should match
Businesses must ensure that the products that they sell and the channels that they choose are suited to each other. They must try to sell products through the channels that customers use to buy the product that is being sold. It is also necessary to resort to channels that give economic sense to the point of sale.
