Why are the water cups of almost the same, but the production costs are quite different?

In our work, we often encounter customers asking such questions. Why are the cups of almost the same shape, but the price is much lower? I have also encountered the same question asked by my colleagues. Why are the production costs of the same type of water cup different?

In fact, this problem is a general one, because there are many factors that will cause different production costs and different selling prices.

1. Production standards are different, and the higher the quality requirements, the higher the production cost, and the higher the price.

2. Different materials will also cause different costs. Taking stainless steel as an example, the cost of 304 stainless steel is higher than that of 201 stainless steel, and the cost of high-quality 304 stainless steel is higher than that of low-quality 304 stainless steel. Compared with the two, the highest material cost can double the difference in production cost.

3. Business operating costs are different. Operating cost is a manifestation of the comprehensive operating cost of an enterprise, which includes management cost, production cost, material cost, etc. The operating cost does not fully reflect the quality of the product, but only reflects the business management model and operation method.

4. The market positioning is different. Different market positioning will result in different advertising costs for companies. In order to promote their products, advertising costs will account for 60% of product marketing costs.

5. Enterprise productivity is also an important factor in determining product production costs.

6. Under the same site, material, labor, and time conditions, the difference in productivity will directly cause the cost of the product.

Every buyer and every consumer want to buy the most cost-effective products, so when comparing purchase costs and selling prices, a comprehensive comparison must be made, not just in terms of price. Every product has a reasonable cost in the market. Once it deviates from a reasonable cost, the more deviated it means that the product must have a problem.
