Step-by-step explanation:

Direct distribution is a direct-to-consumer approach where the manufacturer controls all aspects of distribution.

Indirect distribution involves third parties, like warehouses, wholesalers, and retailers.

Direct distribution gives companies more control over the whole process.

Indirect distribution may allow companies to focus on their core business while outsourcing distribution to an expert.

A manufacturer is responsible for different costs, depending on which channel it uses.
