With the increasing necessity to be seen and remembered, the need for creating distinctive and bespoke wares is on the rise. Bespoke products are the key to offering a unique experience for HORECA guests and help your hospitality establishment stand apart from the competition.
But going bespoke presents its own set of challenges. In this blog, we list the most prominent among those challenges and the means to overcome them.
Challenges faced when you go with Bespoke products
Design
Designing the product is the first challenge when you choose to go bespoke. Conceptualising the product, adding unique touches that make it bespoke while keeping the utility and ease-of-use value high can be a bit tricky. Also, material selection and finish also have a direct bearing upon the durability of the product.
The right decor and tableware partner can make a difference here. They will work with you right from the initial stages of product planning, through to the manufacture, delivery and even offer after sales support! Your feedback is solicited at all stages and together with their knowledge and expertise, the right product for the right application is developed. It is a team effort all through.
Nine Ventures offers bespoke products in various designs and styles. The finish of the product is optional and the products can be created in various colours and sizes. Be it size, shape, colour, finish or design – anything and everything can be customised to align with the theme and design requirements of the customers. We work hard with our partners to come up with designs that are unique to individual clients and help you gain an edge over the competition. Our product development department will work with you and based on your suggestions and inputs we will suggest and supply your project with customised accessories that will help you improve the efficiency of your hotel or restaurant.
Order Quantity
Another challenge that faces you when you go bespoke is the minimum order quantity that is needed to create a unique product. In most cases, though the cost might seem reasonable, you will be left with a ton of products that you will never find a use for! While this may seem like an unreasonable condition, it is not without reason. Most bespoke products’ manufacturers insist on a minimum order quantity, in order to absorb the costs involved in the design and manufacture process. But the minimum order quantity might be just too much for your requirement.
One way to overcome this restriction is to look for a bespoke product developer who offers an optimum balance between costs and quantity. At Nine Ventures, no order is too big or too small for us. Be it tens, hundreds or thousands, we are ready to service your requirement.
Managing Spares
Managing spares is a big headache when you go niche. Suppose your order is a one-time design and in the course of regular wear and tear, your hospitality establishment needs a few spares to replace the product. What do you do? Process another big order?
You can overcome this challenge by factoring in spares during the initial product order. That way, when you need a few spares, you will have them ready. Another idea is to minimise the amount of customisation, so that when the need for a spare arises, you can run a small batch and be done with it.
Nine Ventures is a bespoke solution provider. Our relationship with you does not end with the delivery of the products. It only begins there. It is not just products that we deliver, but also after sales support which make Nine Ventures a very unique bespoke hotel supply company.
Cost
Cost is a major limiter when you go bespoke. Cost escalation happens due to time and effort involved in designing, R&D, prototyping, manufacturing and testing. It is an inevitable part of customisation.
The long term benefits that you gain from going bespoke far outweigh the initial investment. Customisation is not cost – it must be viewed as an investment. It works as your brand’s advertiser.
