Branding Strategy What OEM Buyers Should Know

If you are new to red light therapy, the range of devices and claims can feel overwhelming. Different wavelengths, power levels, and treatment protocols are marketed for different purposes. Starting with a clear understanding of your goals helps narrow down the options. Working with Skifir means having access to a team that understands both the manufacturing and the marketing sides of the beauty device industry.

Understanding Branding Strategy

Negotiating with Chinese manufacturers is different from negotiating with Western suppliers. Building relationship and trust comes before discussing price. Rushing to price negotiation without establishing rapport often leads to less favorable terms.

Key Considerations for Importers

The total cost of importing includes more than the unit price. Add freight, customs duties, customs brokerage, insurance, and inland transportation. These additional costs typically add 15 to 25 percent to the factory price depending on the destination.

Common Questions and Solutions

Product labeling requirements differ by market. The EU requires CE marking, manufacturer information, and instructions in the local language. The US requires FDA establishment registration and device listing. The UK requires UKCA marking. Check requirements for each market before printing packaging.
