Product inspections
- When you are doing your inspections and working with any material. look for positive or negative review from your competitors,
- Especially the ones with terrible reviews.
- Ask your manufacturers.
- Ask the experts.
- When you work with inspection agencies, give full details and make sure they know the material or the product.
- Make sure wood products are treated and cured.
- Get your spec samples and packaging homework done.
Be careful what you wish for
- Be careful when negotiating cost-savings. Your supplier might grant your wish but shave off the cost somewhere from your product.
- Be careful with selecting products, test them.
- At the first sign of trouble, check your products.
- When you receive complaints, retrace the customer steps and find out if the complaint is legitimate.
- Make sure you are covered for product liability.
Compute and recompute
- Test your own product to see if it works as advertised, even before it gets to the market.
- When bad things happen, mitigate loss.
Don’t be a genius
- Don’t try to reshape the wheel or repack the chains for that matter.
Tips
- Optimise: your product weight, packaging, listing.
- It takes months to be profitable. Budget accordingly.
- Check your price point.
