Most things you buy are purchased through a retailer.

direct response

A retailer is a business or individual who sells goods directly to consumers for personal use or consumption. In other words, a retailer is the intermediary between producers or manufacturers and the end users or customers. Most of the products or services we purchase in our everyday lives, from food and clothing to electronics and household goods, are bought through retailers.

Retailers operate in various forms, such as department stores, specialty stores, supermarkets, online stores, discount stores, and more. They purchase goods from manufacturers or wholesalers and display them in their stores or online platforms for consumers to buy. Retailers typically add a markup to the purchase price of goods, which allows them to cover costs and make a profit.

Retailers play a critical role in the economy and in society, as they provide consumers with access to a wide range of products and services, employment opportunities, and contribute to the growth and development of the communities they operate in.
