 Differentiate between Itinerant and Fixed shops. 

Solution
Itinerant requires a very small investment of capital. They have no fixed place of business. They move form one place to another carrying goods on their heads or on back of animals. Itinerants sell goods in small lots to consumers in residential areas. Hawkers, pedlars, street traders, are different type of itinerant vendors.

Fixed Shops : Fixed shop retailers have a fixed place of business. They do not move from one place to another. Fixed shop retailers may be small scale or large scale retailers.
