2. Competitive analysis
Share your competitors, what products do they offer? What are the characteristics of their products? How to make your products unique?
For competitors, you need to follow up with the consumer groups and regions you have identified, do feature analysis, and use this to determine whether you need fast engraving or high-precision engraving.
3. Equipment and consumables
For any business, cost is the key consideration. For the crystal inner engraving business, fewer production materials are required, machines, crystals, and sometimes exquisite packaging gift boxes may also be required.
For machines, since lasers are still emerging technologies, try to choose suppliers who can provide technical support and after-sales.
For crystals, use glass crystals (K9 crystals). You can also use glass and acrylic for inner engraving, but these may not be as beautiful as crystals.
4. Develop your products
(1)Engraving design: Develop a range of engraving designs that appeal to your target market. Consider offering customization options. For 2D images, this is easy to obtain and engrave; for 3D engraving, a 3D file in a specific format is required, which usually costs extra to obtain, or requires additional scanning equipment.
(2)Value-added services: Consider additional services you can provide, such as gift packaging, customized information, or corporate branding.
