Answer 1

Startup company offering a new product that management hopes will establish a new product category, the forces will tend to lead the company to market the product through channel intermediaries rather than directly and factors like security of payment, existing channel level, creating demand, building brand value, efficient supply of materials, establishing the availability of material, understanding the quality of the product, establishing routine demand and increasing the market share and customers base.

Characteristics of early market for new products like huge margin, large customer base, less competition, introduction phase, untapped market, less operating cost, etc.
