Five Plus September Challenge Is Officially On

SEPTEMBER PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM · OFFICIALLY ON

From the all-team kickoff to early Q4 planning for customer projects, this September we are turning team momentum into faster response, lower risk, and clearer partnership solutions.

September is more than the start of a new month. For our team, it is an all-team sprint with clear goals and one shared rhythm. For customers preparing Q4 inventory, new-product development, or supply-chain adjustments, it is also an important window to secure samples, pricing, capacity, and project timing earlier.

The September Kickoff Has Officially Started.

The slogans, targets, and energy at the kickoff are only the starting point. What matters is what happens next: from this moment on, every customer inquiry, every sample, every revision, and every order moves into a clearer execution rhythm. The purpose of our September Challenge is not simply internal excitement. It is to turn team execution into what customers can actually feel: faster response, stronger project momentum, and greater delivery certainty.

01 | What Are We Really Launching With This Kickoff?

If the September Challenge is seen only as a sales sprint, that misses the bigger picture. For Five Plus, it is a coordinated launch of a stronger project execution system: sales identifies customer needs faster, product and engineering teams get involved earlier, samples and quotations move forward more quickly, the supply chain prepares earlier for Q4 orders, and internal waiting time is reduced.

• Sales: Classify customer needs faster and reduce conversations that stop at pricing without solving the real problem.
• Product: Reassess the most suitable SKU and customization depth based on the target market, price band, and sales channel.
• Project Management: Move key milestones forward in parallel, including samples, CMF, logo, packaging, compliance, and lead time.
• Delivery: Encourage Q4 stocking customers to confirm production and shipping windows earlier, reducing last-minute pressure during peak season.

02 | Why Are We Defining September as a Partnership Month?

For B2B customers, September is no longer only about whether to place an order now. It is the time to think about Q4 and the next stage as a whole: Do you need to replenish inventory? Does a new product need to launch during peak season or next year? Should pricing and freight be secured in advance? Could sample validation, packaging approval, compliance documentation, or production capacity become the next bottleneck?

That is why the September Partnership Program is not simply a discount campaign. It is a set of practical cooperation mechanisms designed around three goals: reducing first-order risk, preparing for Q4 earlier, and encouraging stronger long-term partnerships.

03 | New Customers: Lower the Barrier to the First Cooperation

For brand owners, distributors, and wholesalers working with Five Plus for the first time, the real decision is usually not whether products are available. The bigger questions are: Is the first sample worth testing? What happens if quality does not meet the agreed specification? Does customization require a large upfront investment? And once the sample arrives, how do you compare it with mainstream products in the market?

A. First Order Risk-Free Guarantee | Turn the Sampling Fee From a Cost Into a Validation Investment

Under the September program, eligible new customers can use the sampling fee as a credit toward the first bulk order: 100% of the sampling fee can be applied to the first mass-production order. If product quality fails to meet the specifications confirmed by both parties in advance, the refund will be handled according to the program rules. The purpose is to let customers focus on validating the product instead of delaying the project because of sampling cost.

B. Free Customization Onboarding | Build Brand Identity First

For projects that are not ready for deep private-mold development at the beginning, September is a good time to start with light customization such as logo application, basic packaging design, and color matching. This creates a branded version quickly without committing the full budget to tooling and complex development from day one.

C. Competitive Sample Kit | Compare More Than Just Our Sample

For customers who need competitive benchmarking, the program includes a Competitive Sample Kit approach: Five Plus samples can be reviewed alongside market reference samples and test information, helping customers evaluate performance, user experience, structure, and positioning more efficiently instead of making decisions from product images alone.

04 | Existing Customers: Turn September Into an Early Q4 Preparation Window

For existing customers, September is mainly about certainty: Can pricing be confirmed earlier? Can capacity be reserved for Q4 orders? Can inventory be prepared in batches? Can longer-term purchasing unlock stronger cooperation mechanisms?

A. Q4 Early Bird Price Lock | Confirm the Plan First, Then Lock the Rhythm

The program includes a Q4 Early Bird Price Lock to encourage customers to confirm Q4 shipment plans in September and plan upcoming orders based on current project pricing and mutually confirmed terms. The value is not simply a lower price; it is greater predictability for purchasing budgets, sales quotations, and profit margins.

B. Annual Partnership Incentive | Turn Long-Term Purchasing Into Long-Term Benefits

For partners with more stable annual purchasing volume, the program offers tiered partnership incentives, with campaign rebates/benefit packages of up to 5%, together with long-term support such as priority production and new-product development. Specific tiers and eligibility are subject to the formally confirmed agreement between both parties.

C. Inventory Pre-positioning | Produce Earlier Without Shipping Everything at Once

For customers with clear Q4 sales plans who do not want to carry too much inventory at once, we can discuss earlier production scheduling, phased stock preparation, batch shipments, and coordinated payment timing. This helps stabilize peak-season supply while reducing one-time inventory pressure.

05 | The Offer Is Only the Entry Point. The Real Value Is Starting Earlier.

Many projects do not fail because of the product itself. They fail because they start too late. Confirming packaging only when peak season is approaching, preparing compliance documents only before shipment, or discovering insufficient lead time for key materials only after the order suddenly grows can put an otherwise strong product project under unnecessary pressure.

That is why we would rather customers treat the September program as a project-start window. If you need Q4 replenishment, confirm SKUs and quantities earlier. If you are preparing a new product, begin with samples and feasibility. If you are planning the 2027 product line, start by defining the Product Brief, Target Cost, and market variants.

06 | Which Customers Should Talk to Us Now?

• Brand owners, distributors, or wholesalers preparing Q4 stock and looking to confirm pricing, capacity, or phased shipment plans earlier.
• New customers who want to validate quality and market fit through samples before the first bulk order.
• Brands preparing a Private Label project but not yet ready to take on the cost and risk of deep private-mold development.
• Customers with stable existing sales who are ready to upgrade color, packaging, functions, accessories, or the next product generation.
• Projects planning 2027 launches and ready to begin Product Definition, structural pre-assessment, compliance planning, and sample development earlier.

07 | To Join the September Program, Start With Just 4 Pieces of Information

You do not need a complete specification sheet at the beginning. To help our team provide a practical next-step plan faster, simply tell us:

• 01 | Target Market: Main country, platform, or sales channel.
• 02 | Product Category: Hair Dryer / Straightener / Curler / Clipper / Hot Air Styler, etc.
• 03 | Target Positioning: Target retail price, purchasing budget, or market positioning.
• 04 | Current Stage: Idea / Reference / Sample / Existing Product / Reorder, plus your preferred launch or shipment timing.

FASTEST WAY TO START Send "SEPTEMBER + Product Category + Target Market" directly to the Five Plus team. We will first determine whether your project is better suited for first-order validation, Q4 price locking, inventory pre-positioning, or a new-product development plan.

08 | The September Challenge: An Internal Target, an External Commitment

Now that the kickoff has officially started, what we want customers to see is not simply a slogan about pushing harder. We want them to experience a faster, clearer, and more result-oriented way of moving projects forward. Real team execution should ultimately be visible to the customer: questions answered faster, solutions formed sooner, samples validated more efficiently, risks identified earlier, and delivery made more predictable.

This September, we will go all in for our goals — and turn that same energy into stronger execution for every customer project.
