PART B_2
NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL ESTABLISHED
The distribution department is happy to announce that a new distribution channel will be used starting next quarter.
The firm Direct Marketing has agreed to act as our wholesaler. Our former wholesaler was located too far from our factory and was no longer able to offer competitive prices for their services. Direct Marketing is a relative newcomer in this area, but has already established strong connections not only with local retailers, but also with retailers large and small in neighboring states. It is also headed by one of our former employees, Jacob Ramsey, which means that the firm is familiar with the types of products we manufacture.
We look forward to a smooth and lasting relationship with Direct Marketing.

PART E_2
To: Distribution Department Staff
From: Faith Marshall
Date: May 15
Subject: Review of distribution practices
Now that our company is marketing some products online, it has become increasingly necessary to review our distribution practices.
In order to serve our customers better (i.e., offer them fair prices) in retail outlets, it is probably best to streamline traditional distribution channels.
This would most likely indicate creating a route leading straight from us, the producer, to retailers, so that our products can be sold at prices closer to those we offer online. Creating such a route would also mean a substantial cut in distribution costs, which is a boon for our company.
I would like to hold a meeting next week to go over what needs to be done in terms of logistics. Please keep Tuesday morning open for that. Thank you.
