Marketing supplements? Seven questions to ask contract manufacturers

Asking the right questions provides the information you need to select the contract services company that is best for your needs.

Nutritional supplements has become a crowded category in the store, so a product that works and gets through distribution in a hurry is essential. With more brand owners of nutritional supplements opting to concentrate on product creation and marketing, contract manufacturers and packagers are becoming a bigger part of the mix.

1. What certifications do you have?

2. How long has your business been operating?

3. What types of products do you make?

4. What kinds of testing do you perform?

5. Who will be making the product?

6. What packaging choices do you offer?

7. Can you handle complex formulations?
