Flexible Supply Chain for Startups

Client Background

A startup apparel brand in the US focusing on basic retail items like T-shirts and hats. They had no prior experience with eyewear and a limited budget for their first trial run.

Needs & Challenges

  • High Entry Barriers: Traditional custom molding was too expensive for their testing phase.
  • MOQ Limitations: Most factories rejected their small order quantities or offered very limited styles (e.g., only black frames).
  • Supply Chain Instability: Previous attempts with other suppliers resulted in uncertain delivery dates.

Julong Solution

  • “Small B” Program: We identified their need for “Low Budget, Small Batch, Brand Customization.”
  • Ready-to-Customize Inventory: We offered a selection of 10 popular sports frames and 50+ color options from our ready stock.
  • Rapid Customization: We enabled logo customization on these stock items with a low MOQ of just 20 sets and a 5-7 day turnaround time.

Project Results

  • The client received their branded goods within 7 days.
  • The low-risk trial was successful, leading to a repeat order within two weeks and establishing a consistent restocking cycle.
I received the goods in 7 days and was very satisfied with the product quality and delivery time. I give five stars to their fast response service; after the trial order, I placed repeat orders half a month later, recognizing the product quality, customization effect, and cost advantages—this enabled high-frequency repurchases and elevated our brand reputation locally.
