The lowest layer, which comprises of suppliers and manufacturers, supplies goods to these enterprises.

Self-Pitch Distribution Model
In the environment that we operate in today, it can be difficult to find distributors willing to sell your brand.
As you may or may not know, there are hundreds, even thousands of brands and far fewer distribution businesses to move your product through the tiers.
Many people employ Park Street’s self-pitch distribution strategy to lessen complications and improve their chances of receiving distribution.
In that items are sold to retailers, the self-pitch distribution model is similar to the three-tier traditional distribution model. The primary distinction is that sales and marketing are handled by the provider.
