Horizontal Marketing
Horizontal Marketing is an organizational structure that
most businesses use. With a horizontal structure, an
economic incentive to help others succeed does not exist.

Examples of Horizontal Marketing:

• Real Estate Agencies (e.g., Century 21®)
• Insurance Companies (e.g., AllState®)
• Chain Stores (e.g., Ace Hardware®)
• Franchises (e.g., McDonalds®)
• MLM/Network Marketing or Direct Sales (e.g., Avon®)
Horizontal Marketing Organizational Structure

Franchise Corporation

Disadvantages of Horizontal Marketing

• Additional locations multiply costs

• Creates competition
• Territorial restrictions
• Time/resources spread too thin
• No cooperation/collaboration
• MLM — system to duplicate
horizontal marketing

Vertical Marketing
Vertical Marketing is an organizational structure that
provides an environment in which there is an economic
synergy between the people participating throughout
the entire enterprise.

upon the amount of hard work, talent, and dedication which he or she
devotes to building his or her Market America Business.

Canadian Distributors, if making an earnings claim, must disclose the
