Distribution strategy of One PlusDistribution strategy is basically a strategy to make the products or services available to the target customers using a supply chain.One plus follows these distribution strategies to be visible to the customers all around the world:Collaborated with Amazon, Air Asia and Ola- In its initial stages, OnePlus only sold its products online through Amazon India via flash sales. With Amazon, OnePlus was able to sell 20000 cellphones in a very short span of time. This mode of marketing also created a sense of buzz among consumers. It also helped Oneplus in producing an optimum quantity of the product to match the demand which was created in the market.

On the launch of OnePlus X, they strategized a campaign which enabled the customers to buy a OnePlus smartphone via the Ola App and they had the product delivered within 15 minutes.One plus has also decided to expand their offline stores in around ten cities by the end of this year.”We are not going through a traditional offline channel.
