As a factory that has produced water cups for nearly ten years, we have experienced multiple economic characteristics, from early OEM production to our own brand development, from the vigorous development of the physical store economy to the rise of the e-commerce economy. We also continue to adjust the company’s production management and sales methods with changes in the market economy. Especially in recent years, the development of the e-commerce economy has surpassed the physical store economy. We have also made a lot of adjustments to meet the needs of e-commerce merchants. , but as time goes by, we find that the supply and demand relationship between factories and e-commerce merchants or cross-border e-commerce merchants is not necessarily the most appropriate.
Why is the water cup factory not the best way to satisfy e-commerce and cross-border e-commerce merchants?
As we all know, the sales prices of e-commerce products are lower than those in physical stores. This is because the sales method of e-commerce merchants eliminates some intermediate links, the most important of which is to obtain the goods directly from the factory. This results in the sales price of e-commerce being lower than that of physical stores.
However, as an e-commerce merchant, it is a common phenomenon that the single purchase volume of a single product is low. At the same time, manufacturers are required to replenish goods quickly. Especially in the past two years, with the rise of cross-border e-commerce, this situation has become even more obvious. There are many types of purchases, small quantities of single products, and high frequency of purchases. These conditions make most water cup factories unable to cooperate.
Production costs are a problem that all factories have to face. The best way to reduce production costs is to increase production as much as possible in the same time. In production, the time used to produce small batch orders is not much less than that of large batch orders, which causes the production cost to increase exponentially; if the factory wants to ensure that the cost remains unchanged, there will be a risk of inventory backlog. Most factories still focus on production and development, and only a few factories have a complete sales system and a strong sales team. So I think if one of the two cannot be changed, then the water cup factory is not an e-commerce merchant or a cross-border e-commerce merchant. the best supply route.
