Perfume Glass Bottles: Why the Exact Same Design Comes With Different Prices

Some customers demand good quality, some need good service, and others require good prices. Today, I’ll talk about my clients’ demands recently. The first client sent me a picture of a 香水瓶50ml and I recognized it immediately. After confirming with the client, it was correct. However, the client thought the price was very high after receiving the quotation. Before making the purchase, the client must have compared prices. I don’t find this strange. In this field, I think this is the most likely place where misunderstandings occur. (My client wants to purchase from me because we have been cooperating for a long time and have high trust. )

Let’s talk about the glass bottles. For the product itself, the glass has different levels of transparency. We call it ordinary white, high white, and there is also better refined white material. For this bottle, we use the refined white material. Then I learned that the other client’s quotations used high white material. This is the first price difference. After further discussion, we found that the biggest difference lies in the weight. Our bottle weighs 200g, while the other party’s bottle weighs 155g. Here, I think the cost difference for the raw materials is nearly a quarter.

We really want to say, “Oh my god, I can’t imagine this market.” Everyone is constantly reducing costs to compete for orders, using excessive cost reduction to secure prices. I think this is also the greatest test for product quality. To be honest, price and quality are often in opposition. Only within an appropriate adjustment range can they not be opposed. If one pursues price without any limits, the end result is often the beginning of quality collapse.

Of course, we respect the client’s choice. For some markets, the client may need to pursue prices appropriately. But for some big brands, I think quality is very important. Stable quality can add points to the brand. What we ultimately want is to discuss the feasibility of the solution with the client while ensuring the quality.
