- Marketing mix can fail when promotion reaches the wrong audience or the product is sold through the wrong channel.
- Customers may not respond if the message appears in places where they do not search, compare, or buy.
- Sales become weaker when promotion and channel choice do not match customer buying behavior.
- Some products need physical stores because buyers want to check them before purchase.
- Digital promotion may waste money when the target customer does not buy through online channels.
- A distributor can delay sales when stock movement or product availability is poor.
- Channel selection affects delivery, trust, support, and repeat buying.
