You may ask, why should I consider pre-ordering from my glass container and packaging supplier if I’m not sure exactly what business will look like 6-8 months from now? In a fast-paced market, the foresight of pre-ordering can be a game-changer for companies looking to better manage their business and gain a competitive edge. Let’s explore 4 ways pre-ordering can be a mutually beneficial move for both your company and Glassnow alike.
1. Strategic Inventory Management
Effective inventory management is key to navigating peak seasons and avoiding stockouts. Pre-ordering allows businesses to plan their inventory needs in advance, ensuring they have the right products at the right time. This foresight is especially crucial during heavy-up seasons when demand surges. By aligning inventory levels with anticipated market trends and coordinating the delivery of inventory accordingly, companies can avoid the pitfalls of understocking, optimize their operations, and meet their customers’ needs without interruption.
2. Cost Savings through Bulk Discounts
With inventory effectively planned, orders from your suppliers can be combined to increase total order quantity, which provides an attractive opportunity for reducing the per-unit cost. Since Glassnow offers tiered pricing discounts, inventory costs are reduced, profitability is increased, and companies can pass on the savings to their customers to increase market competitiveness.
3. Customization for Brand Distinction
In today’s crowded market, brand distinction is crucial. Pre-ordering with Glassnow opens up unparalleled customization options, from unique color choices to bespoke screen printing directly onto the glass. By leveraging these customization options, businesses can distinguish their products on the shelves and in the minds of their customers, adding a layer of exclusivity and appeal.
4. Safeguarding Your Supply Chain
On our side, Glassnow values the insights provided by pre-orders. They give us a clear indication of your future needs, ensuring we reserve the necessary items for you or manufacture more if additional quantities are required, even if there is an unpredictable influx in demand from our other customers. Pre-orders allow us to be the best partner possible, giving a special focus to your business’s requirements, safeguarding your supply chain, and allowing you to maintain a steady flow of products to your customers.
As you can see, the ultimate goal of pre-ordering is to embrace a strategic partnership that benefits your business in multiple ways. From cost savings and effective inventory management, to brand differentiation through customization, the advantages are clear. Moreover, it strengthens the relationship between your business and Glassnow, ensuring that we are better equipped to meet your needs and support your growth. Ready to take the next step?
