This time, we launch a brand for ourself DELT▵ FORGE in middle of social distancing. A little film-making tool workshop founded by father and son in suburbs of Ho Chi Minh city. We only distributing on Shopee platform.
As makers, animators, and creatives ourselves, crafting solutions for our peers is both a passion and a privilege. Being our own clients brings a refreshing perspective, allowing us to work directly with ourselves (with a hint of humor). Our product design philosophy is simple: we’re driven by a shared desire to make things happen.
Luckily, we share common interests and knowledge, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Mikhail Kalashnikov, Henry Ford, Porsche Ferdinand, and Nikola Tesla. Learning from my father has been invaluable; together, we admire the brilliance of these prodigious mechanics and their philosophies.
LOW COST AND LESS WASTE PACKAGING
Navigating the entrepreneurial landscape during the Covid era has been made possible through well-managed e-commerce platforms. Our venture into Shopee has offered a firsthand glimpse into the world of small business ownership.
Cost management is a delicate balance. From selecting design and printing methods to materials, every decision impacts our bottom line. We strive to minimize expenses while maintaining branding integrity and aesthetic standards. Considering shipping logistics, customer usability, and ethical choices further complicates the equation. Ultimately, our business is a reflection of our pride, ego, and commitment to delivering exceptional products.
We opt for sustainable materials: kraft paper boxes instead of plastic, cotton bags in lieu of bubble wrap. Each box and bag is hand-stamped, eschewing mass printing. Receipt codes are handwritten rather than printed and affixed to shipping boxes.
We appreciated our consumers and shippers, they didn’t complain about our choices for packaging, they didn’t complain why we didn’t bubble wrap the product like other e-commerce sellers did, luckily they didn’t complain about my hand-writing numbers either.
