Business owners who market nutrition and beauty products have a selection of options for producing the kind of products that you want. However, the struggle will come when you are starting to decide which among these choices is a best fit for your business. Most common among these choices is White label Vs. Private label manufacturing.
Although both of these options are fairly good when it comes to helping your products on the market, there are also very huge differences between the two in terms of services provided. Understanding the difference will help you in making your decision faster in whether or not to go with white label or private label manufacturing.
Lets take a look at what differentiates the two from each other:
Okay, so let’s start with White Label Manufacturing. This method is a mode of manufacturing where in a supplement manufacturer sells an unbranded product to a reseller who then places his or her own brand on the packaging. This may seem like an easier method for most business owners, as it is already convenient. All you need to do is stick your own branding on it, and you’re good to go. It will still give your customers the appearance that you made it yourself.
Back in the day, before records were sold on the market, copies that were sold for promotional purposes would be sent to DJs in a white sleeve. DJs would then be the one to drop these records on the radio or in a club to test the crowd’s interest and better estimate how many records to produce.
So, if you were to go with white label manufacturing, it’s still important for you to realize that there can still be identical products sold on the market that are also “white labeled”
White label companies exist in many different areas of business especially in nutritional supplements, skin care products and of course gadgets.
Private label supplements are best for those types of businesses that want to market and build their product. If you have your supplements made by a third party supplement manufacturer, you will be given the chance to add your own logo, and set the tone of your branding to one of the manufacturer’s tested formulas and directly sell them to your customers.
Compared to other options, this is better if you want to reach higher margins. Coming up with your own line of products can be very risky. There’s a chance that in the long run everything you’ve spent won’t be recovered, but private labels are better because they are attractive and have special formulas that are market tested first before releasing them into the public.
There are also a number of advantages that comes with private labeling when it comes to marketing and selling an already established line of products. Tendency is, consumers will already be familiar with the kind of formula it has and be comfortable enough to purchase it.
Business owners with this marketing strategy can also borrow the popularity of an already existing brand by replicating the formula. This is a major hurdle when it comes to marketing new products, which can be overcome through private label selling.
Another important advantage private label manufacturing has over white label, is the cost. The cost of selling these products is likely to be lower compared to white label. Private label supplement manufacturers have the expertise of other third party options but the only difference is it’s at a lower price. This is made possibly because they limit the amount of customization. Scaling the system of manufacturing through this method will allow you to save more.
Private label vs. white label also allows you to be less committed and more flexible compared to other options. They are also able to offer their customers limited runs without any upfront and major costs which is good for a small business who is just looking to test the market for a new line of products. Private labeling also allows small businesses to offer a wide variety of products without spending too much on the development.
As mentioned, private label brands are less expensive and can generate a higher profit. While white label brands are cheaper for retailers to purchase compared to private label products because they can still use their own packaging, so that they do not lose brand recognition.
Disadvantages:
One of the disadvantages of private label products, if a business owner or a retailer decides to alter the formulas in any way that confuses their customers, those products will not be able to sell properly on the market and would result in loss.
For white label, a major disadvantage is that their packaging can often become generic and unattractive to consumers, which could make their customers think that it is a product of low quality and therefore cannot be trusted compared to international brands and private label brands.
Deciding on which option to go with when it comes to manufacturing can be a hard decision to make, but you always need to put your business goals first before making a decision. Aside from that, you also need to take into consideration your budget, and how you plan to strategize for effective market and stable returns.
