What is secondary sales?

Secondary sales refer to the sales of products or goods from a retailer or distributor to end consumers. It is the subsequent sale that occurs after the initial primary sale from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the retailer or distributor. In a typical supply chain, primary sales involve the movement of products from the manufacturer or producer to the retailer or distributor. Once the products are stocked by the retailer or distributor, they are made available to consumers for purchase. These consumer purchases constitute secondary sales. Secondary sales are critical for businesses as they represent the ultimate revenue-generating transactions. They directly contribute to a company's financial success and growth. Retailers and distributors play a crucial role in facilitating secondary sales by managing inventory, marketing and promoting products, and creating an attractive shopping experience for consumers.
