In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Nex.
Why distribution channels matters on the Nex
Specialist shops support higher service expectations and wider flavour ranges.
Seasonality interacts with distribution channels more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Convenience channels favour simple formats and fast rotation.
