In retail, depot distribution is a form of distribution in which the retailer is obliged by the wholesaler or producer to carry a minimum quantity of the product or product group in his shop. The purpose is to ensure an image-appropriate presentation of the respective brand . Branded perfumes , cosmetics , watches or designer fashion reach the end user almost exclusively through this distribution system.
