How To Identify A Good Custom Dog Manufacturer?

According to the industry data, about 80% of the pet products in the international market are exported from China, and one out of every two dog harnesses is made in China. There is also a significant change: Chinese brands representing new designs and new intelligent manufacturing are becoming more and more popular in the international market. China is a labor-intensive country, with many factories and suppliers of dog harnesses. Textiles have always been the main export commodities of China. How to identify good suppliers?

1. Observe the Supplier's Background

There are many large and small dog harness companies in China. To judge the capabilities of suppliers, we should first learn the background of suppliers and judge their enterprise capabilities. Usually, when we contact suppliers online, the supplier's website or Alibaba store will upload their relevant information, such as factory pictures, number of enterprises, location, floor area, etc. At this time, we should collect this information and compare them with multiple companies.

• Pictures: If the factory pictures provided by the enterprise are too few, then we should doubt whether the factory really exists.

• Location and Floor Space: with stronger production capacity will have stronger factory strength, more employees, a better delivery location and a larger factory area.

• Reputation: What do other business owners think of this dog harness supplier? Is it a reputable supplier, or will it steal your product ideas and weaken your business?

• Business Type: Depending on your business model, you may need to select a wholesale supplier, a drop shipment supplier, or a private label manufacturer. Make sure you know which vendors are which.

• Security: Good custom dog harness suppliers provide insurance and fraud protection. Avoid working with suppliers who do not protect your business.

When looking for custom dog harness suppliers, it is very important to check the evaluation of other enterprises. This may give you a clearer understanding of how suppliers will meet your expectations.

2. Proper Delivery Date

Lead time is also the key to distinguishing suppliers. First of all, the delivery time is determined by our quantity. If the delivery time provided by the dog harness supplier is too long, we should observe whether the dog harness supplier's resources are sufficient, whether it has really made such dog harness products, and whether it has experience in producing dog harness products. In promotional activities, merchants often receive a lot of orders, and their lead time will be extended with the increase in orders. For too fast delivery, we will also doubt whether the quality and quality inspection of this dog harness supplier is qualified. Therefore, the appropriate delivery date is very important. Under the same product and quantity, we can compare the delivery dates of several suppliers. Except under the influence of force majeure, the normal delivery date difference will not exceed 10 days. If you find that the lead time of a factory is 10 days longer or shorter than that of other dog harness suppliers you contact, then we need to consider it carefully.

3. Identify Product Quality

• ask merchants to send samples

As we are looking for dog harness suppliers online, we cannot really touch the dog harness products. At this time, we can ask the suppliers to send us samples. Then we can really touch the dog harnesses produced by this supplier. Even some dog harness suppliers will provide customized sample services. If we want to see the effect of customized styles and patterns in advance, we'd better buy customized dog harness samples. This can help us to plan the products we want to do in advance to a greater extent, and can also use customized samples for promotion.

• keep the customized sample

When we receive the dog harness samples sent by the suppliers, we must carefully check the dog harnesses, including the material, thickness, wiring, color, and whether there is obvious damage. These are very important. And keep your ordinary or customized samples. Why should we keep it? Because if we place an order in the future and receive the dog harness bulk goods, we can check whether the bulk goods are consistent with the samples provided. If not, we can better protect our own interests.

• Test the quality and size of the dog harnesses

After we receive the sample, in addition to checking the surface of the dog harness, it is better to let our dog wear the dog harness for trial, so that we can test whether the quality and size of the dog harness manufacturer's products meet the standard and whether they meet the functions of our daily trial.

4. Good Service

• Custom service

A good dog harness supplier can help you customize dog harnesses with your brand logo, design, accessories, etc. We have limited capabilities, so we should plan the dog harness style we want to make in advance, and tell the dog harness supplier your ideas when communicating with them. They will have a professional designer to help you design a template for your reference. At this time, you can choose whether to continue to buy your design.

• Photo service

Good dog harness suppliers even have their own professional photography teams. We can also ask them to help you take photos and videos of the dog harness for your promotion and sales. This also greatly reduces your sales costs and workload.

• After-sales service

Good harness suppliers attach great importance to the level of e-commerce platforms. If small companies have questions about dog harnesses or other aspects, Chinese businesses will provide good after-sales services, basically responding to every request.

5. Make a decision and stick with it

Now it’s time to review your material and notes from the two meetings with each vendor and make a decision. Hopefully, it will be based both on cost and ability to meet your requirements, but how you make that final decision is up to you. The key is to make it and stick to it.

Changing providers again quickly can lead to extra costs for you. After all this effort, it’s unlikely you’ll make a really poor choice. However, if you realize at some point that you should have picked Vendor B over Vendor A, make the switch, but be careful to not incur extra contract back-out fees over the decision. You may need to ride it out for a year or so.
