I. Plan Background and Cooperation Purpose
With the popularization and normalization of tennis and pickleball worldwide, the market scale of supporting sports accessories continues to expand. As a high-frequency, rigid-demand and high-repurchase consumable for courts, ball pickers have become a core profit category for cross-border e-commerce sellers, offline sports supermarkets and sports brand stores. At present, the industry generally faces pain points including unstable product quality from small and medium-sized factories, delayed delivery, weak customization capability, insufficient cross-border compliance, stockouts during sales booms and inventory backlogs, which seriously affect the operational stability, reputation building and long-term profitability of partners.
To solve the shortcomings of the industrial supply chain, this long-term stable supply cooperation plan is formulated relying on the full industrial chain advantages of the source manufacturer. Adhering to the core principles of stable quality, efficient delivery, differentiated empowerment and mutual benefit and win-win results, the plan provides one-stop, normalized and low-risk supply services for partners through four core systems: source quality control, flexible production capacity, customized empowerment and strategic binding. It helps partners avoid operational risks, reduce comprehensive costs, build differentiated product barriers, and achieve long-term stable profitability and brand incremental growth.
II. Core Cooperation Advantages: Hard-core Guarantee of Source Supply Chain
1. Authoritative Source Manufacturer Backing, Building Dual Safeguards for Quality and Compliance
Stable quality and compliant qualifications are the fundamental cornerstones of long-term supply cooperation. This cooperation exclusively selects Dongguan Enyong Plastic and Hardware Products Co., Ltd., a senior source factory with 15 years of in-depth experience in the sports plastic and hardware industry. It realizes full independent control covering raw material procurement, mold research and development, injection molding production, finished product inspection and packaging and delivery, completely eliminating the problems of markup by middlemen and disjointed quality control.
In terms of quality, all ball pickers are made of thickened and wear-resistant virgin materials, effectively solving common industry problems such as easy cracking, deformation, short service life and high complaint rates. The wear resistance, drop resistance and compatibility of finished products are far superior to ordinary industry products. In terms of compliance, all products have passed dual cross-border authoritative certifications (CE and SHOP) and hold more than 20 independent R&D patents. With complete and flawless compliance qualifications, the products can be directly launched on mainstream global cross-border platforms including Amazon, Temu and AliExpress, fundamentally avoiding intellectual property infringement and platform removal risks, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of partners’ stores without compliance hazards. Meanwhile, the factory has established a normalized quality inspection mechanism, with batch sampling and full inspection for all products before delivery to ensure consistent and stable batch quality.
2. Flexible Supply System Adapting to Full-scenario Order Demands
A flexible and elastic supply system is built to meet the diverse order needs of partners, including daily restocking, small-batch trial orders, peak-season bulk orders and customized large orders, breaking the drawbacks of traditional factories such as fixed production scheduling, rigid delivery and unbalanced inventory, and realizing the operation goal of no stockouts in daily sales, no delays in peak seasons and no inventory backlogs.
For daily supply, the factory maintains massive spot inventory of mainstream-specification ball pickers with 24/7 spot delivery support, which can quickly respond to partners’ needs for daily restocking, new product trial sales and small-batch test orders, shorten the new product launch cycle and help partners flexibly adjust product structure. For customized orders, relying on its independent mold workshop and fully automatic injection molding production line, the factory supports independent mold development and rapid mass production, with personalized customized orders deliverable within 24 hours to maximize delivery efficiency. For peak-season guarantee, special production capacity and safety inventory are reserved in advance for global shopping festivals such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, 618 and Double 11, supporting advance order locking and scheduled production to eliminate stockouts and delivery delays and ensure stable sales performance for partners in peak seasons.
3. Full-dimensional OEM/ODM Customization to Build Exclusive Competitive Barriers
The ball picker industry is plagued by serious homogenization and vicious low-price competition, resulting in shrinking profit margins for generic products. Leveraging the factory’s mature customized R&D capabilities, this plan provides partners with full-dimensional differentiated customization services, helping them break away from low-price competition, launch exclusive branded products and improve product premium capacity and user stickiness.
OEM private customization supports brand logo laser engraving, silk screen printing, hot stamping, exclusive color matching, overseas regional color adaptation, multi-language cross-border packaging, anti-counterfeiting logo customization and other all-round services, which can deeply integrate brand genes and enhance product recognition and brand tonality. ODM original R&D supports product structure optimization, functional upgrading and new mold development according to partners’ market demands and user pain points, launching exclusive functional ball pickers to occupy advantageous positions in segmented tracks. Through customized empowerment, partners can build exclusive product barriers, get rid of homogeneous price wars and achieve long-term profit premium.
III. Implementation Mechanism of Long-term Strategic Cooperation
1. Annual Strategic Agreement Binding to Lock Core Rights and Interests
To ensure the long-term stability and security of cooperation, both parties can sign an annual long-term strategic supply framework agreement to clarify detailed cooperation rules and realize in-depth binding and mutual benefit. The core rights and interests of the agreement cover four major aspects: first, production capacity locking – exclusive production capacity is reserved for strategic partners with priority in production scheduling and delivery to avoid order delays; second,ladder-based factory price locking – tiered ex-factory prices are set based on annual procurement volume, lowering unit price with higher procurement volume to lock long-term low-cost supply advantages; third, quality warranty locking – clear product warranty standards, defective product compensation mechanisms and after-sales processing procedures to reduce partners’ after-sales costs; fourth, new product priority rights – strategic partners have priority access to the factory’s new and upgraded products to seize market opportunities.
2. Dynamic Quality Control and After-sales Guarantee System
A full-process quality traceability and efficient after-sales mechanism is established to fully reduce partners’ operational risks. In the pre-production stage, only high-quality virgin raw materials are adopted with no recycled or inferior materials allowed. In the production stage, full-line online quality inspection is implemented to eliminate deformed, damaged and defective products in real time. In the post-production stage, quality inspection reports and compliance qualification documents are provided for each batch of products to support traceability. In terms of after-sales service, free replacement and return & exchange services are provided for factory defects and transportation damages. Special personnel are assigned to handle after-sales work orders, with responses within 24 hours and problem settlement within 48 hours, minimizing partners’ complaint pressure and after-sales losses. Relying on the sound quality and service system, the factory’s customer repurchase rate reaches 98%, leading the industry in market reputation and supply chain stability.
3. Normalized Communication and Dynamic Optimization Mechanism
An exclusive docking service system is established, with a dedicated business contact assigned to each long-term partner to provide full-process services including order docking, progress tracking, customization communication, after-sales handling and market demand feedback. Meanwhile, a monthly review mechanism is launched to synchronize production capacity dynamics, new product information and market trends. Product quality, packaging styles and delivery rhythms are dynamically optimized according to partners’ sales data and market feedback to continuously adapt to market changes and customer needs, realizing sustained upgrading and optimization of the supply chain.
