Response to Gwyn Harper I picked fuel as the product purchased through an intermediary. Intermediaries add significant value to the purchase of products like fuel by providing several key services (NewStream Enterprises, 2020). They handle logistics and distribution, ensuring fuel is readily available at gas stations when needed. By purchasing fuel in bulk, intermediaries can negotiate better prices with refineries, passing on some of these savings to consumers. Additionally, they often test and verify the quality of fuel, ensuring it meets industry standards before it reaches consumers. Intermediaries also provide customer support, handling inquiries and resolving issues related to fuel purchases. Furthermore, they engage in marketing and promotion, offering discounts and rewards through promotions or loyalty programs (NewStream Enterprises, 2020). These value-added services enhance the overall purchasing experience and product quality for consumers. Consider the post. Identify one additional way you believe the gas station could add value to the purchase of a gas from it. Would this value change if purchased directly from the market instead of through an intermediary?
