Why and how are mobile accessories ordered in bulk

The production of mobile accessories is concentrated in China. It is here, in particular, in the “Silicon Valley” of the Celestial Empire, the city of Shenzhen, that most of the factories producing aesthetic, technical, and protective accessories that gadget owners use with their devices are located.

Unlike products from original manufacturers such as Apple or Samsung, mobile accessories from China have two key advantages:

• price — with a comparable quality of materials, the user pays much less than for the original product, in which most of the cost is determined by brand marketing;

• large selection — high competition creates a supply market where it is possible to choose a product for every taste.

In this regard, trading platforms that deliver orders around the world have developed: AliExpress, Taobao, Joom, Banggood, and others. However, when ordering mobile accessories from China, people often face the following problems:

1. Prolonged delivery times. Postal services can deliver a parcel for a month or more. If a person has purchased a new smartphone, it is simply impossible to leave it without protection or a charger for a month.
2. Unknown quality. When placing an order, the user can judge the quality of the product only by the photos on the site, the relevance of which depends on the honesty of the seller, or by reviews. Yes, if the arrived goods are of unsatisfactory quality, the buyer can open a dispute and potentially make a return, but the time is wasted, and the mood is ruined.
3. The requirement for in-depth subject knowledge. The description of the product on the site contains only the technical characteristics of the device, and often the completeness of the information leaves much to be desired. In addition, the value of one or another parameter is often not obvious to a person — and this is normal, because no one has to know by heart the electrochemical characteristics of gallium nitride.

Therefore, retail stores, specializing in electronics, order products in bulk, and the user can come and see, hold it in their hands, try, and choose the right product, as well as consult with the seller, who sees a lot of similar products every day, knows their properties, and can suggest the best option.

Marketers divide wholesale sales into 3 categories: small, medium, and large. An experienced supplier understands that the individual needs of a retail outlet require the formation of individual business processes that take into account the characteristics of each category.

Mobile accessories in small-scale wholesale

In small-scale wholesale, the client makes a selection of products for the required smartphone models and selects a specific palette of colors and styles. Such orders have a small depth — from 1 to 5 units of items, but cover a wide range of products.

The entrepreneur gets the opportunity to form a competitive assortment at a relatively low cost.

Mobile accessories in middle-scale wholesale

In middle-scale wholesale, the assortment width is approximately the same as in small-scale wholesale, but the depth and frequency of orders differ, since a pool of flagship positions is formed, which are ordered in larger quantities, depending on the product category.

When choosing a business model based on the type of middle-scale wholesale, the customer has the opportunity to receive more favorable prices. In addition, its point of sale will experience fewer refusals and outflows of customers due to the fact that positions in demand are quickly sold out.

Mobile accessories in large-scale wholesale

In large-scale wholesaling, mobile accessories are most often ordered with the help of the manager, since their order registration requires additional consultations and approvals, especially on the cost of goods. In this regard, part of the range goes into the area of ​​individual offers.

Also, the order format itself affects the change in the price of goods in large scale wholesaling, since the client can place a pre-order, which will be included in the invoice in China.

No need to make a new order every 1-3 days gives the customer the opportunity to conveniently plan their costs and internal workflows, and large deliveries provide the most favorable prices.

Conclusions

1. Mobile accessories from third-party manufacturers from China occupy a significant niche in the electronics market due to an acceptable price-quality ratio.
2. It is much easier, more comfortable and faster for the average user to purchase the desired product in a retail store than to order it directly from abroad.
3. By ordering wholesale mobile accessories, retail entrepreneurs get the opportunity to meet the needs of their target audience, make a profit, and grow their business.
4. There are various models of wholesale trade with individual advantages and different levels of required financial costs. The entrepreneur chooses the volume of purchases based on the needs of his outlet. In an ideal situation, a supplier manager can develop an optimal purchasing strategy together with an entrepreneur, but we will focus on this in the next article.

Why are mobile accessories becoming more popular every year?

Sales of mobile tech are growing every year. Urbanization, the acceleration of the pace of life, the development of a consumer culture, and globalization are among the many factors that have made it impossible to imagine a modern person’s life without gadgets.

Mobile accessories have become an essential companion for portable electronics because they expand users’ capabilities, add new functions, and decorate and protect their favorite devices, emphasizing and complementing the owner's individuality and lifestyle. They are conditionally divided into 3 groups: aesthetic, technical, and protective, and we will focus on each of them in detail.

Aesthetic mobile accessories

The smartphone case is one of the top 10 selling mobile accessories. This is primarily due to the frequency of use of this particular gadget. According to research by Counterpoint Research, 74% of smartphone users spend 3 to 7 hours a day on them. From such intensive use of the device, it follows that the smartphone:

1. - is constantly in sight;

2. - is exposed to an increased risk of damage;

3. - tritely bores the owner.

The user does what is most rational in such a situation — purchases a smartphone case that protects it from everyday risks of falls, bumps, scratches, and abrasions, updates the visual design, and also demonstrates the owner’s taste to others.

However, gadget aesthetics include not only smartphone cases, but also tablet cases, laptop cases and bags, smartwatch straps, wireless earphone cases, ring holders, pop sockets, and the like. Made from a variety of materials, from silicone and plastic to wood, glass, and even stone, they come in an endless variety of designs that range from classic solid colors to original designs and merchandise from trending movies, TV shows, bands, and more.

At the bottom line, all aesthetic mobile accessories, from a smartphone case to a holder, serve the following purpose: to protect and decorate the gadget simultaneously.

Technical mobile accessories

Technical accessories include all mobile accessories that help us maintain our devices, as well as make their use more convenient and provide the user with additional opportunities. This is charging, synchronizing with other devices, downloading and uploading various files, from photos to music. Thus, this group includes mains, wireless and portable chargers, cables, adapters, and hubs. A separate group in this category includes products for drivers: car chargers, power banks, with which you can start the engine of your iron horse, car holders, music players and FM transmitters, fragrances, parking signs, portable vacuum cleaners, road lamps, evacuation tools, and a lot more items that will be useful to both the owner of the car and their passengers.

The technologies for the production of these mobile accessories are constantly evolving: they are equipped with touch controls, smart chips that control power circuits, digital displays, built-in magnets for fixing, induction coils for wireless charging, and this is far from the limit of their capabilities.

Protective mobile accessories

The name of the category speaks for itself — these are products designed to prevent damage to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics. This is necessary for two reasons:

• - so that the device works properly and lasts as long as possible;

• - to keep the perfect appearance of the gadget for the entire period of use, as well as for subsequent resale, because second-hand products with a non-marketable appearance are not in demand and their price is low.

The most fragile element of the device is, of course, the display. A broken display is the second most common problem that gadget owners turn to service and repair centers for. And the cost of replacing it is often only slightly less than the price of the device itself. That is why the largest niche of all protective mobile accessories is occupied by glasses and films. They cover the part of the smartphone that is sensitive to shocks, scratches, and abrasions, literally taking all the damage on themselves — and replacing them is much easier and cheaper.

The production of protective accessories is also constantly developing and improving, keeping up with the times. 3D glasses followed the EDGE displays with curved edges because their completely flat predecessors were not able to protect the rounded edges of the display. Manufacturers equip their products with additional features, releasing protective glasses that filter blue emission from gadget displays and reduce the amount of glare on the screen, as well as modifying the composition of the adhesive and oleophobic coating, thanks to which the glass is easier to adhere to the smartphone, holds better, and also becomes smoother and more pleasant to the touch.

Protective films are not far behind, because they are chosen by users who care that the gadget retains its original design and control sensitivity. Modern hydrogel films have a self-repair function, regenerating scuffs and scratches within 24 hours after the appearance.

The back panel and sides of gadgets can also suffer from cracks, chips, and wear, especially in devices with a glass casing. Here, special films with designs come to the rescue, which are available with various patterns and types of coating. Suitable for any type of gadget, protective films with designs hide existing defects, protect the case from new damage, and also refresh the appearance of your favorite electronic assistant.
