Answer:
Marketing intermediaries:
tend to increase the number of exchange relationships producers and consumers must deal with in order to buy and sell goods.
Explanation:
Marketing intermediaries, otherwise called middlemen, are independent firms whose functions are necessary in the free-flow of goods and services from producers to end-users. Â Some of the marketing intermediaries are agents, wholesalers and retailers. Â Others include marketing services agencies, physical distribution companies, and financial institutions. Â Without their help, there would be inefficiency in the production and distribution of goods and services, as they smoothen distribution access.
