The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box Plus economics actually settle.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Shops that receive a short briefing on oem and odm programs convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
