mortar channel (brick-and-mortar retail channel) Explanation: More context would be better, but is there a chance that the text compares this company to online sales? A "brick and mortar" company, or retail model is where there are actual stores, offices where people can see and touch the products, or discuss services. http://www.sgia.org/feature_articles/execsum_june2012.cfm http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_bricks_and_mortar_retail_c... http://blog.picor.com/bid/57803/Redefining-Relevance-for-Bri... http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/brickandmortar.asp#axzz2... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2013-01-30 18:48:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The other possibility is that they are saying "motor channel" referring to the automotive industry, perhaps highlighting their strength or market share in that segment of the insurance business. Again, more context would be helpful. |

peer agreement (net): +1The automobile-related industry as a sales channel of insurance products Explanation: I think it refers to the auto manufacturing industry and the auto maintenance industry as intermediaries to sell the insurer’s products. This channel will probably include industries dedicated to the maintenance of automobiles following delivery to the end-user, such as repair shops and motor fuel filling stations. So it is not limited to the automotive/automobile industry that designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells motor vehicles and the likes. See 販売チャネル別戦略 in the following link. “さらに自動車ディーラー・整備工場・ガソリンスタンド等(モーターチャネル)の各チャネルごとに、的確な対応と施策を次のとおり展開し、更なる成長を目指しています。” http://www.nipponkoa.co.jp/c_profile/Disclosure/2003_disclos... |
