How To Choose a Good Supplier--Handmade Jewelry
Whether you're a fashion retailer, an e-tailer, an eBay seller, or you’re a well-known jewelry brand, the key to success is finding great wholesale jewelry from a jewelry supplier, especially handmade jewelry. As we all know, handcraft has become an important element of fashion and fashion products. Naturally, seizing the market for handmade jewelry and choosing a good supplier is essential. Then, what factors will affect your choice of a good supplier?
Location
Domestic or foreign?
Undoubtedly, if you choose a domestic supplier, you will get the fastest delivery date and local style products, which can make you turn to your sales-market faster and better. But at the same time, it also means that you cannot get unique jewelry to be a different one from your competitors or open up better markets.
By choosing an overseas supplier, you will have a unique and distinctly different trend element from the local market, which is very conducive to your market development. Delivery and market expansion are important factors in choosing a supplier location and with these in mind, Chinese suppliers will help you solve the above problems.
First of all, as a cultural power, China has a long history in jewelry, especially handmade jewelry, which will give you the best market elements and handmade concept. On the other hand, China has the best logistics system in the world and can complete the transportation of goods at the fastest speed.
Management Pattern: Trader or factory?
Before that, perhaps most retailers or dealers would be more willing to choose trading companies as suppliers. Because trading companies seem to be able to communicate more easily and better understand the needs of retailers and distributors.
But today, with the development of factories, communication and communication will no longer be an obstacle, choosing a direct factory as a supplier will be the best choice.
Firstly, factories can produce directly according to the customer's customized because they can purchase raw materials fast or would have abundant inventory. Second, direct cooperation with factories can save a lot of time and money costs, especially on time cost.
Concern: Quality or price?
Price and quality are points that importers will never stop paying attention to and discussing and they often don't know which point to focus on. The first thing you need to know is clearly what market you want to develop, whether you want to make a good brand or whether you want to get a certain return from jewelry sales.
If you want to build a new jewelry brand, there is no doubt that you must pay more attention to the quality of the product. Good product quality will give you a better response and better positioning of your brand value. But if you want to get a return on selling jewelry, does that mean you can focus more on price? I don't think so. Low prices always mean poor product quality, which naturally means that you can't sell your product well, and ultimately you can't get good returns from it. Why not choose to focus on product quality and then spend the time saved from bargaining with suppliers on product sales? I believe it will pay more than you spend a lot of time bargaining with suppliers to get low-priced products. It should also be noted that low-quality products can easily cause great distress to your sales or damage your brand image.
Lately, cancer-causing toxic metal cadmium is found in chain stores' jewelry including Ross, Nordstrom Rack and Papaya. This not only greatly affected the sales of these chain brands, but also immeasurable damage to the brand image.
All in all, a foreign supplier, especially one from China, is worth choosing. A direct factory can save you a lot of time and money, and it is recommended that you choose the job as the supplier's first choice. Finally, price and quality, I suggest you better focus on the quality of the product, of course, this is not to suggest that you ignore the impact of price. High-quality products are naturally accompanied by high prices. It is impossible to buy high-quality products at low prices even if you spend more time. It is better to turn your time into your sales market and make better sales and greater profits.
