How to select a Private Label Vitamin supplier There are lots of options available for private label vitamin manufacturers. A first glance the process of selecting a supplier can seem overwhelming. However, there are a few questions which can help you to select a supplier for your product line. FDA & GMP license The most important tool in selecting a manufacturer should be based on the quality of the products offered. You should always ask your manufacturer if they are FDA registered, and GMP compliant before continuing further discussions. These qualifications provide an initial qualification tool for consistent quality products. Scalable Manufacturing Solutions Next, your supplier should be able to provide you with scalable solutions for your product or product line. Scalable solutions are solutions that your selected supplier should be able to offer you larger manufacturing services in the case that your product or product line increase to a point of large volume sales (typically 5000+ orders). If you select a supplier without the ability to scale up in volume you will be restricted to the amount of product you will be able to sell through your sales network. Always remember that as your volume increases your product or products should be discounted to allow for a larger marketing & advertising budget for your brand. This issue is solvable in the future, but it is better to establish this parameter in the beginning of your relationship to alleviate possible headaches for you in the future. Remember that in business it is always to be proactive rather than reactive.

Value Add Services Fulfillment The first additional value add service is product fulfillment service. If your running an online e-commerce store this can be an excellent tool for your success. Product fulfillment services typically require upfront charges for various operational reasons, but this service is not always necessary for all customers. If you do not need product fulfillment be sure you establish this initially with your manufacturer so you are not charged for an extra service you do not need. Marketing & Packaging Design Service Next, marketing material development, label and packaging design services. Marketing materials and packaging design can the reason why your product sells vs. not generating interest. If you have a unique product idea and you would like to develop custom labeling or packaging for your product(s) be sure your manufacture can provide you with the services you require.

Brand awareness is essential to maintaining an omnipresent awareness to your store or brand.
