How can customized eye cream manufacturers work with brands to create eye creams that meet current market demand
Customized eye cream manufacturers and brand owners need to work closely together to create eye creams that meet current market demand, from market research and product development to production, marketing, and other aspects. The following are the specific steps of cooperation:
In depth market research
Joint market analysis: Manufacturers and brands form a research team to comprehensively understand the current trends in the eye cream market through questionnaire surveys, consumer interviews, market report analysis, and other methods. This includes consumers' preferences for the efficacy of eye cream (such as anti wrinkle, moisturizing, dark circles removal, etc.), texture (such as gel like, cream like, etc.), ingredients (such as natural plant ingredients, high-tech extracts, etc.), and the demand differences of consumers of different ages and regions.
Research competitor products: Analyze the characteristics of existing eye cream products in the market, including product positioning, packaging design, pricing strategy, promotional selling points, etc. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of competitors in order to determine the differentiated competitive direction of the product.
Accurate product positioning
Identify the target consumer group: Based on market research results, jointly determine the target consumer group for eye cream. For example, for young office workers, attention may be paid to anti fatigue and moisturizing effects; For middle-aged consumers, anti wrinkle and firming effects may be more crucial.
Determine the unique selling points of the product: Based on the needs of the target audience and competitive situation, explore the unique selling points of the product. This can be a unique combination of ingredients, innovative technological applications, or personalized packaging design that makes the product stand out in the market.
Collaborative product development
Manufacturers provide professional technical support: Customized manufacturers rely on their own research and development capabilities to provide professional formula recommendations and technical solutions based on product positioning and efficacy requirements. For example, recommending suitable active ingredients, emulsifiers, etc. to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the product.
Brand participation in the R&D process: The brand provides opinions and suggestions on the aroma, texture, color, and other aspects of the product from the perspective of the market and consumers, so that the developed product meets market demand and has brand characteristics. Both parties will jointly test and evaluate the developed samples, including laboratory efficacy testing, consumer trials, etc., and optimize and adjust the products based on feedback results.
Strict control of raw materials
Jointly screening high-quality raw material suppliers: Manufacturers and brands jointly inspect and screen raw material suppliers to ensure that they have good qualifications, production capabilities, and quality control systems. Prioritize selecting suppliers with sustainable development concepts and the ability to provide innovative raw materials.
Strict raw material quality testing: After each batch of raw materials arrives, the manufacturer conducts testing according to strict quality standards, including purity, active ingredient content, microbial indicators, etc. Brand owners can also participate in random inspections to ensure that the quality of raw materials meets product requirements and guarantees product quality and safety from the source.
Efficient production management
Optimize production process: Manufacturers optimize the production process based on the characteristics and production scale of the product, improve production efficiency and product quality stability. Introduce advanced production equipment and automation control systems to ensure precise control and traceability of the production process.
Brand supervision of production progress: The brand establishes a good communication mechanism with the manufacturer to timely understand the production progress and ensure timely delivery of products. At the same time, the brand has the right to conduct irregular inspections of the production site and supervise whether the production process complies with relevant standards and specifications.
Personalized packaging design
Packaging design collaboration: The brand proposes packaging design concepts and requirements, combines brand image and product positioning, and collaborates with a professional packaging design team to design attractive and recognizable packaging. The manufacturer provides suggestions from the perspective of production technology to ensure that the packaging design is operable in actual production, such as considering the compatibility with the product and the convenience of filling when selecting packaging materials.
Packaging quality control: Manufacturers are responsible for strictly controlling the quality of packaging materials, including material strength, sealing, printing quality, etc. After the brand confirms that the packaging samples are correct, large-scale production can be carried out to ensure that the product packaging is both aesthetically pleasing and protects product quality.
Comprehensive marketing promotion
Develop marketing strategies: Brand owners and manufacturers jointly develop marketing strategies, combining product characteristics and target consumer groups to choose appropriate marketing channels and methods. For example, utilizing various methods such as social media, recommendations from beauty bloggers, and offline counter experiences to promote and advertise products.
Provide market support: Manufacturers can provide product promotional materials, training manuals, and other support to brand owners, assisting them in conducting sales personnel training and market promotion activities. At the same time, both parties jointly collect market feedback information and adjust marketing strategies in a timely manner to adapt to market changes and consumer demands.
