Running a perfume/cosmetics packaging manufacturing unit in India (caps, bottles, pen sprays). how do manufacturers here get discovered by D2C fragrance brands beyond IndiaMART/TradeIndia?
We manufacture custom perfume caps, pocket perfume bottles, and packaging components for fragrance and cosmetic brands in India. Right now most of our leads come from B2B marketplaces (IndiaMART, TradeIndia) and referrals, but the margins and lead quality there are inconsistent.
For folks who've scaled a component/packaging manufacturing business did LinkedIn outreach to D2C brand founders work better? Trade shows? Instagram/content marketing showing the manufacturing process? Curious what's actually worked vs. what's a waste of time.
