Factories, Brands & Product Development Folks; how do you handle minimums with your suppliers (MOQs)?! We're small, and we're stretching to meet these minimums at launch. We've been asking suppliers for creative solutions ... these are the ones I've been thinking about: - do we use de@d stock fabrics? - can we pay a surcharge to reduce the MOQ? - can they lower their MOQs for the first order if we have a growth plan? - maybe we could do material sourcing on our own? I'm excited to hear your ideas! #brandlaunch #outdoorindustry #helpmeoutplease #friendlyfounders #moqs #manufacturing #productdevelopment

2moThese are all great questions. Where is your manufacturer located? Have you enquired with US factories? What kind of product are you making?
