The online market for personal lubricants has grown over the past few decades, with numerous businesses of all sizes now operating in this sector. With increasing social acceptance and demand for personal lubricants, more people are entering this industry. However, how do you choose a high-quality manufacturer of personal lubricants?
Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced distributor, if you have limited knowledge of this industry and market, I would recommend sourcing your products directly from a manufacturer. Direct manufacturers are not just producers; they are also capable of independent research and development and have excellent production capabilities.Although many claim to be direct manufacturers, those who can both develop products and customize hardware are still quite rare.
Why should we consider working with a direct manufacturer that can both develop software and hardware and has production capabilities?
1. Product Quality: Direct manufacturers who conduct independent research and production can maintain strict quality control from the source. They have well-established quality management systems, resulting in a lower rate of products with quality issues. Compared to brands that collaborate with manufacturers, the quality is on a higher level.
2. Lower Prices: Direct manufacturers can offer lower prices for products of the same quality. As they control costs from the source and optimize them throughout the design, research, and production process, their factory prices are generally lower than those of second-tier distributors.
3. Quality After-sales Service: Personal lubricants developed and produced independently come with better after-sales service. In the event of issues, the manufacturer can communicate and address them promptly. Since the entire process is under their control, they have a more comprehensive understanding of their products.
4. Lower Probability of Breach of Contract: Direct manufacturers are usually larger and have experienced market fluctuations, which enhances their risk-bearing capacity. They face higher costs in case of contractual breaches, making them a relatively safe and reliable choice for distributors.
These advantages explain why many agents prefer to work with direct manufacturers.
