The market for outdoor optics has continued to grow in recent years, as more and more people take up hunting, bird watching, wildlife observation, and long-range shooting. For retailers, distributors and optics manufacturers just starting out to put their own label on a high-quality spotting scope can be a very profitable business. To launch a spotting scope without large investment for development as it is traditionally needed, working with experienced Chinese OEM suppliers is an ideal solution.
This article explores how forward thinking companies are building a successful brand of optics by offering custom OEM Spotting Scopes particularly high quality 20-60x models with ED glass.
Serious outdoors people care about how their gear performs, and also care about the brand behind it. Providing private label spotting scopes is an area for retailers to develop a line of products that can drive customer loyalty and large margins.
Many of the large, international companies work with Chinese manufacturers. These companies offer cutting-edge optical technology, flexible production to meet customers’ requirements and competitive prices. As a result, new and established companies alike can enter the market with their own range of spotting scopes very quickly.
A good 20-60x portable spotting scope is a well-balanced piece of glass that is compact enough to take with you yet possesses sufficient magnification to analyze objects in great detail. The use of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass in these scopes is a must as it suppresses color fringing to a large extent, producing sharp images with high contrast.
Key benefits of these models include:
The GN01 20x-60x100 ED is a current production model that showcases what OEM stereo microscopes can offer today. This scope includes high quality ED glass, multiple layers of coatings and a very desirable angular design that many users prefer to a straight arm.
OEM Manufacturing through to building your own brand can be a straight forward process.
1. Initial Consultation and Specification The initial stage of production involves us discussing your target market, the desired features of the product and your branding requirements with the manufacturer. Based on their many years of experience, they can advise on suitable specifications in line with current market trends.
2. Sample Development The factory is making prototypes for us to test and approve. This typically takes 2–4 weeks and allows us to test optical, quality of build and ergonomics.
3. Customisation Once your samples have approved, you can add your logo, change the color, change the packaging and include any of the accessories that you feel are required. Many of the factories that we deal with have silk-screen printing, laser engraving and fully customised retail boxes.
4. Production and Quality Control After the final approval production can start. In order to deliver high quality products, reputable manufacturers check the products in several production stages for optical accuracy, water tightness and other features.
5. Delivery and Support Products are delivered according to the Incoterms of your choice (FOB, CIF, door-to-door delivery etc.). A good supplier also offers technical support and warranty service.
Modern OEM spotting scopes often include:
The new features enable your brand to compete with established companies, and in many cases to offer greater value to customers.
Leading OEM suppliers have successfully developed private label programs. They extend beyond a simple labeling of standard products.
The degree of customization can be tuned to create a fitting product family that even more strongly reinforces a brand in the market.
