Why Not Have Your Own Brand?

It May Be Easier and Much Cheaper Than You Think.

Dell™, along with a number of  other brand names, buy bare-bones systems, which have been manufactured in China; then they simply tart them up a little, slap their brand label on them, and now you have a Dell computer.

In fact, some statistics say that 80% of all the world’s laptops and notebooks are manufactured here in China by a handful of OEM or ODM companies, who simply brand the cases for those large known foreign buyers who sell those brands to us on our high streets. One OEM, Quanta™, for example, has made portables for Dell™, Gateway™ and Apple™, amongst others, as far as I understand it. Another example would be Inventec™, probably being the biggest server ODMs, and one of the top 4 Notebook makers worldwide. Inventec 08’ revenue reached 10 billion dollars. But most of you probably haven’t ever heard of either Quanta™ or Inventec™, have you? So, why not have your own brand made, using the same suppliers, and at the same quality? There are many smaller OEMs or ODMs you’ve never heard of and who produce excellent quality goods, as Quanta™ and Inventec™ will only take large orders, and much of their capacity is taken up in the production of machines for the big brands. We have a very nice contact with a company here in China, and who have produced for Elonex™ in the UK; you know, those guys who claim to make the cheapest laptops or notepads on the UK market.

Not to mention TsingHua TongFang (THTF), for which I am their African, European, and North American agent. Many of the THTF products range have specifications and applications which even exceed those of companies such as Dell™, and all you need do is buy enough to have your name branded onto them. The MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) to have your own brand will depend on the OEM/ODM; it can be as little as 500 machines, and so may cost you far less to do so than you could imagine. We can help you find one of these OEM or ODM companies to produce the goods you require, at the quality and specifications you require, at less than the cost of many of the big brand names. If that’s your bag. All of the ove is true for laptops, netbooks, notebooks, UMPC, USB memory sticks, and mobile telephones; not to mention every other product you can think of from can openers to clothes. The following is an example of the specifications to which you could have your own brand made. And in this example I’m going to be using a TongFang computer – the S30 i, being the latest addition to the TongFang PC range; although I have access to several other OEM/ODM companies here in China. The S30-i is a top end model, but I’ll be illustrating it in its’ basic configuration, and will include the price and MOQ after the specifications. These machines are superbly crafted, well designed, and manufactured to all the known standards you’d expect in any high quality product of this kind.

Now, that’s a top of the range product, with an excellent street value potential, which could have your company name on it. Of course, their are cheaper models, and alternative models available from THTF, or any of the other OEM/ODMs I’m in contact with. So, think about it. If you wanted you could have any quality product, not just computers, with YOUR OWN BRAND on it. You can download the current pricing and MOQs (Minimum Order Quantity) for THTF computers here.
