Retailing

 

Retailing is the provision of goods or services to the customer. Retailers buy goods directly from the manufacturer or from a wholesaler, (the 'middleman'), and make their income from the margin, or difference, between the price they pay for the goods and the price they sell the goods at to the consumer. A retail outlet is the place where customers can purchase goods, for example, a supermarket or a department store. Nowadays, many customers are shopping from home: shopping by the Internet, TV shopping channels or mail-order catalogues is becoming very popular.
