THE BUYING ANSWER

Start with a clear definition.

Describe the construction and presentation differences behind each intended position. Use named fabric, trim, packaging and decoration changes rather than labels such as basic or luxury alone. Request quotations against those defined versions.

The decision behind the detail.

Simplifying decoration can change the look more than reducing packaging. Compare alternatives against the detail that your customers value instead of making an undefined request to lower quality.

PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT

Three details to bring.

Range positions
Give each proposed version a working name and intended role.
Protected features
List details that must remain across every version.
Variable features
Identify which materials, trims or packing may be compared.

Check together

  • Ask for separate specifications for each quoted version.
  • Check that substitutions do not change approved claims.
  • Compare complete packed products rather than front photographs alone.
