OBM Brand Distribution, Shieldon

Initial Consultation and Application

Client Application Submission

Getting started with Shieldon is easy and convenient. You can submit your application through our website forms, send us an email, or even use our online platforms—whichever works best for you.

When you apply, please include key information about your business, such as your company background, the sales channels you currently use, and the markets you want to serve. This helps us understand your business and how Shieldon’s products can fit your needs.

We designed this step to be quick and hassle-free, so you can focus on growing your distribution business.

Qualification Pre-screening

After receiving your application, our experienced distribution team will carefully review your details. We verify important documents like your business registration certificate and assess your existing sales channels to make sure you meet Shieldon’s brand partnership requirements.

This preliminary check ensures that you are well-positioned to successfully represent and sell our products in your market. It also helps us maintain the high standards Shieldon is known for, ensuring a strong and mutually beneficial partnership.

Online Meeting

Brand and Product Introduction

In a video call, we’ll introduce you to Shieldon’s story, our product range, and how we position our brand in the market.

This helps you understand what makes Shieldon knives and tools stand out and how they appeal to customers. We want you to feel confident representing our brand.

Q&A and Demand Confirmation

During the meeting, we’ll talk about your planned purchase volume, how you want to distribute the products, your shipping preferences, and key details about your market.

We’ll also have an open Q&A to answer your questions and learn more about your specific needs. This helps us tailor our support to your business.

Exclusive Customization Rights

We offer the option to apply for exclusive customization rights in your region. This means you can request unique product styles or features made just for your market. This service has a fee, but it lets you stand out with products that perfectly fit your customers’ preferences.

Signing the Distribution Agreement

Drafting and Review

Once we finish our discussions and understand your needs, Shieldon will prepare a draft of the distribution agreement.

This document covers all the important details you need to know, such as product pricing, shipping arrangements, the level of authorization you will have, and the duties each side will take on.

We want to make sure everything is clear and fair from the start. After you receive the draft, we’ll hold an online review session where you can ask questions or request changes. We’ll work together to revise the agreement until both you and Shieldon fully agree on all terms.

This careful process protects both parties and builds a strong foundation for our partnership.

Pricing and Discount Mechanism

We understand that pricing is a key factor for your business success. That’s why Shieldon offers tiered pricing, which means the price per item gets better as you buy larger quantities.

This way, you can plan your orders to maximize profits. Along with pricing, we clearly explain how discounts work and what your expected profit margins are.

This transparent approach helps you understand exactly how much you can earn and what incentives are available. For example, if you order 500 knives, you get a better price than if you order 100, encouraging larger orders that benefit both of us.

Authorization Scope and Brand Guidelines

To protect Shieldon’s brand reputation, the agreement will specify where and how you can sell our products.

For example, you might be authorized to sell only within certain countries or regions, or only through specific sales channels like physical retail stores or approved online platforms.

This prevents brand confusion and helps maintain a strong, consistent presence in each market. If you’re limited to offline retail only, you won’t be able to sell on other platforms without permission.

Clear rules like these help us avoid overlap between distributors and keep the brand’s image professional and trustworthy.

Brand Usage Guidelines

Shieldon cares deeply about how our brand and products are represented. The agreement will explain how you can use our logos, product images, and packaging materials in your marketing efforts.

It also strictly prohibits any changes to the product’s appearance or packaging, so the quality and look of Shieldon knives stay consistent worldwide.

For example, you cannot add your own labels or alter the knife design. Following these guidelines ensures customers everywhere recognize and trust the Shieldon name, which ultimately supports your sales success.

Distributor Starter Kit Distribution

Digital Starter Kit

When you join Shieldon as a distributor, we provide you with a comprehensive digital starter kit to help you launch your sales smoothly.

This kit includes a detailed product database filled with high-resolution images, technical specifications, and manuals available in multiple languages.

These materials make it easier for you to understand and showcase our products to your customers. In addition, you receive marketing materials such as our brand visual identity (VI) guidelines, ready-to-use advertising templates, and product videos that can boost your promotions.

We also provide essential sales tools like monthly updated price lists and access to our online ordering system. With everything organized and accessible, you can focus on growing your business without worrying about gathering resources.

Digitally Empowered Starter Kit

To help you stay ahead in today’s digital market, Shieldon also offers advanced digital tools as part of your starter kit.

You’ll get editable 3D models of our products in .glb format, which can be used in augmented reality (AR) displays, letting your customers interact with the knives virtually before buying. This modern technology creates a more engaging and interactive shopping experience. Additionally, we provide a real-time compliance checker tool that automatically scans your advertising copy to detect and filter out prohibited or risky terms.

This tool helps ensure your ads follow all legal and brand guidelines, reducing the risk of problems and making your marketing efforts safer and more effective.
