Evaluation Task 3: Distribution Formats

The following 2 formats are the most likely distribution format for my product as it it less suited to large screen presentations as we have not produced a product using the highest definitions and resolutions. Additionally, it would be difficult to persuade a cinema to show my movie to a smaller niche market. 






DVD Cover

DVD




Advantages:

  • Due to a DVDs tangible presence (its physical dimensions) it provides the customer/consumer with a product with perceived value.
  • The product is usually displayed on a shelf either in the store or at home, acting as a permanent advertisement.
  • It is portable between devices.

Disadvantages:
    • Production costs such as printing and manufacturing of labels and other materials are expenses. 
    • Stock holding is required therefore money is tied up. 
    • Distribution, the product has to physically be moved. 
    • This product can be shared/ borrowed between consumers therefore sales may be affected. 
    • It can be easily copied or pirated.
