Activities of Warehouses
After goods are received and before goods are shipped, a series of internal warehouse activities take place to ensure an effective flow through the warehouse and to organize and maintain company inventories.
Warehouses most often perform the following activities:
- Protective, packaging and material handling: This is the managerial function of arranging and controlling activities for moving products within plants. Warehousing protects, packages and carefully handles materials from spoilage or damage.
- Order processing: This involves a credit check, recording of sale which requires record-keeping tasks such as crediting a sales representative making appropriate accounting entries and locating ordered products and adjusting inventory records.
iii. Inventory control system: This is the operation of an attempt made by organisations to hold the lowest of inventory that will still enable it to meet customers demand and this activity at times is performed by warehouses.
- Typical warehouse activities include putting items away, moving items inside or between warehouses, and picking items for assembly, production, or shipment.
- Assembling items for sale or inventory may also be considered warehouse activities. In large warehouses, these different handling tasks can be separated by departments and the integration managed by a directed workflow. In simpler installations, the flow is less formalized and the warehouse activities are performed with so-called inventory put-aways and inventory picks.

They are used for storing imported or exported goods.
Bonded warehouses provide specialized storage services such as deep freeze or bulk liquid storage, commodity processing, and coordination with transportation, and are an integral part of the global supply chain.

Primary Products
These are goods and services purchased and used by final consumer. It is also known as ‘consumer products’.
Classes of Primary Products
The primary product can be classified into :
(a) Convenience goods: These are products acquired by consumers with less effort in terms of shopping. They are purchased frequently, no information is sought before buying. Essentially, these are goods that are habitual with consumers. The buying behaviour of the consumers for convenience goods is anchored on habit.
(b) Shopping goods: With shopping goods, consumers are ready and willing to shop by taking time to compare price-quality, durability, brands, suitability, taste, style before making the decision to buy. Such goods include furniture, household appliances, wears, shoes, etc. Shopping goods are more durable than convenience goods.
(c) Speciality goods: With these products, consumers do not acceptable substitute in their mind. They are ready to search until they can find them based on brand names, trade. Speciality goods do not involve the buyer in making comparisons, buyers invest time only to reach the seller of speciality goods. E.g types of cars, suits, electronics, designer’s fashion wears, wristwatches, handsets etc.
(d) Unsought goods: With these products, consumers do not realise that they want or need them. Most new products fall into a category which consumers buy accidentally, consumers do not think or preparing to buy them and for consumers to be influenced to buy these products, the substantial marketing effort is required in form of advertising and personal selling.

Structure for Marketing Primary Product
There are several types of channel structure, dependent on the type of goods. An example of a structure for consumer goods such as food and clothing could be an Agent etc.
The channel consists of complete organizations.
Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Agent, Retailer, Consumer, Manufacturers’ agents and selling agents are included with the merchants even though they do not take title to the goods. Physical movement follows exactly the movement of ownership.
The efficiency of the process can be increased via an intermediary.
Channel intermediaries arise to adjust the discrepancy of assortments through the performance of the sorting processes.
Marketing agencies remain together in channel arrangements to provide the routine of transactions.
Channels exist to facilitate deliveries and to avoid inventory stock-outs
As numbers of transactions increase, the need for intermediaries becomes greater. The marketing channel is a ‘canal’ which contains the physical flow of products. Because of the complex array of intermediaries operating within a channel, which may be involved in one or all aspects of channel function, the channel may also be visualized as a chain-link arrangement where each intermediary unit is effectively a link.
Manufacturers are dependent on the effectiveness of their intermediaries if their channels of distribution are to meet their marketing goals. Intermediaries of a channel specializing in more than one function. Their inclusion primarily depends on their superior efficiency in the performance of basic marketing tasks. Such intermediaries, through their experience, specialization, contacts and scale of operation, offer other channel members more than they can achieve on their own. However, this type of specialization leads to some important behavioural concepts.

Structure (channel) for marketing secondary products.
Structure for Marketing Secondary Products.
Buyers and sellers are often engaged in similar activities within the marketplace. There is a degree of uncertainty if manufacturers are unsure of customer wants and needs, and consumers are not always sure what they will find. In this respect, marketing channels facilitate the searching process in locations
Wholesale and retail institutions are organized by different product groups; for example, fashion, hardware, grocery.
Many products are widely available from wide-ranging locations
The following are the structure/ channel of marketing secondary product:
Direct Selling
Direct selling is the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location. Peddling is the oldest form of direct selling.
Selling Through Intermediaries
A marketing channel where intermediaries such as wholesalers and retailers are utilized to make a product available to the customer is called an indirect channel.
Dual Distribution
Dual distribution describes a wide variety of marketing arrangements by which the manufacturer or wholesalers uses more than one channel simultaneously to reach the end-user. They may sell directly to the end-users as well as sell to other companies for resale. Using two or more channels to attract the same target market can sometimes lead to channel conflict.
Reverse Channels
Technology, however, has made another flow possible. This one goes in the reverse direction and may go — from consumer to intermediary to the beneficiary. Think of making money from the resale of a product or recycling.
There is another distinction between reverse channels and the more traditional ones — the introduction of a beneficiary. In reverse flow, you won’t find a producer. You’ll only find a User or a Beneficiary.

This usually comes after market research, and it is an experience at firsthand getting to know the economic and market conditions, business, culture, future competitors of a territory.

- The union set in a strong standard to control the local market
- Market union also be in support of price control
- The union fight for the injection of money into the circular flow of the local market
- The union also serve as financial aid for traders
Problems of Union involvement in Local Market
- Uneven concentration
The most active trade unions are in large areas with a high concentration of industries, but similar activity is feeble in small organizations. It is the main reason for the poor attitude of employers to employees in small organizations.
- Small size
Today, there are over a hundred trade unions throughout Nigeria. Unfortunately, most of these unions are insignificant due to their size and quantity. Because of these qualities, the result of the work of the trade unions is reduced almost to zero.
- Inadequate finance
As mentioned earlier, there are a lot of trade unions in Nigeria, but only some of them have a large number of participants, which directly affects the level of income. But the financial problem is present not only in small companies but also in large ones. Due to a significant number of participants, it is difficult to keep track of whether all taxes are paid, which is also bad for the general welfare.
- Poor leadership
The war for a leadership position occurs not only at the top of power, but such manipulations take place even between members of trade unions. Often news tells us about the conflicts during the elections, sometimes even with the use of weapons. Most union members usually put their own interests and goals at the forefront and are not oriented towards the common good.
- Corruption
The reputation of some Nigerian trade unions has suffered greatly due to the high level of corruption inherent in both union leaders and its members. There were cases when trade unionists were accused of abuse of power, bribery, and theft of union property.
- Proliferation of unions
Since there are a lot of trade unions in the country, there is a factor in the speciality in the same sphere, which in turn leads to rivalry, conflicts, and reduced efficiency of labour.
- Indifference, apathy, and lack of motivation
Virtually all union members have no special interest in the activities of their organization, so they are rare guests of meetings. The main reason for this situation is the lack of financial motivation and rewards, so employees see only disadvantages in joining a trade union.
