Similarly, Philips partnered with local retail partners in Asia to provide more access and visibility for their products.
     
  • Consumers wanting immediate product delivery and access can be easily supported by offline channels. The offline segment leads the market due to its ability to provide customers with an immediate product and excellent personal assistance.
