Bed in a Bag Total Cost Analysis

The bottom line gains realized by manufacturing Bed in Bag at CDS verses doing it outside the country:

Execution

1. The ability to plan for the manufacturing complexity of putting a Bed in Bag together, minimizing excess sham, dust ruffle, pillowcase and sheets, thus avoiding substantial markdowns.

Capital Outlay

2. Longer planning time: 4-6 weeks from printing time to shipping direct to the retailer verses 3-6 months outside the country. In times of softening retail sales or shifts in the consumer's acceptability of certain styles, you loose your flexibility to react to potential changes in the retailers projected requirements. You save by minimizing markdowns and charge backs.

3. Guaranteed direct shipments in 14 working days to your customers. This avoids late charges or cancellation of orders and will minimize loses from close out inventories.

4. Minimizing data processing, warehousing and shipping cost.

5. Eliminate substantial transportation charges.

We plan to locate on our premises an Internet and fulfillment facility to service direct to the ultimate consumer, which will further decrease transportation costs, expedite service. Thus, enable our customers to increase their market share.

We are a major producer in the industry. Our present capacity equals $500 million dollars at retail. In the last two years we have added 2 additional manufacturing facilities at $7 million dollars in capital expenditures. We will invest an additional $10 million dollars in order to become a full service company, from fabric to retailer to consumer.

Our customers are increasing their market share. We are the most competitive company when one compares all the factors stated above. We will prosper because our projection for the future is based in consumer needs not on the difference in labor cost outside the country.

In Summary, By comparing apples to apples encompassing the difficulty of execution, saving of capital by shortening the time of executing orders, minimizing potential charge backs and markdowns on excess inventory, plus saving on freight, we are the cost effective solution to your sourcing needs.
