The Hidden Cost of “Good Enough” Suppliers

Missed Launch Dates: Late deliveries = lost sales and unhappy customers.
Compromised Creativity: Generic options dilute your brand’s uniqueness.
Wasted Time: Endless back-and-forth emails fixing errors.

I. What is small batch customization service?

Small batch customization service often happens when a company/group wants to hold a event for activities or when the company/group wants do some team building for its collagues. For example, if the "Geek" company wants to hold a group event and make a group T-shirt with its logo on the front as a group event souvenir. They could find a vendor to help with the production. That's when small batch customization service comes in and we can do exactly that. In this example, T-shirt is rather simple to do, however what if it's like golf pouch, metal crutch, a certain style of flashy notebook, helmets with Jesus sign, or jackets that has 16 pockets in the inner layer? People can get really creative and the product can be really hard to find in local. That's when CrossBorderStudio comes in! We can help even with building products that hasn't been existed in the world before.
Of course, it will come as price but we will always try to find the best factory for you and negotiate the terms for you as well.

2. Mid-Chapter, or the Story

We've been through a lot of things to come to where we are right now. This year after the spring festival, luckily we cooperated with a dropshipping mentor that brought A lot of students to us. That means A lot of clients for us, we are talking about 20+ students in 1 day and this went on for like 2 weeks. It was crazy, almost every single day everybody in the company is working overtime and still can't get everything done.That was when I thought: I have to get this fixed. There is no way we can handle all the dropshipping requests like this. I tried to contact one of the most well-known "friend" aka competitors in the industry and I said:"Can you help us?"
They actually did, just not in a way that's in our favor. By "our", I mean me and the coach. After another 2-3 attemps, in the end, I thought:" why not give this industries' most famous company a try? They didn't come to us as our first option because in my mind they are up in the air and they may not even thinking about working with us.
So I did, I figure like the old saying: you lose 100% of the shot that you didn't take. by my surprise, they actually said yes after I laid out my plan! The exact plan wasn't as easy as this but the whole negotiation process actually took like 1 week. We made a deal. Thanks to them, we can have a system that helps with our student's order. if you know us deep enough and notice everything in our webiste then you will probably already notice, they are CJ-Dropshipping.
Thanks to CJ again! :)
After experiencing all these crazy events, our company has finally be able to settle down and be more at ease when working instead of chasing the tasks and try to meet all these dropshipping clients' needs. what also hit us is: we like small batch customization more. After experiencing all different types of trading, when we work for a small batch product, we can put our attention fully into the project and meet clients' requirement and make sure everything can come into reality when comepare to only doing dropshipping, it's more like robot and we feel lifeless and like machines.
That's when we decided we want to focus on small batch customization service.
