# In the ToG Market, What Kind of Products Sell Best?
The **ToG (to-government)** market is often shrouded in uncertainty. Many companies venture forward through the mist, chasing the elusive recipe for success. Despite the flood of new offerings, few products truly achieve outstanding sales.
So — what *exactly* makes a ToG product stand out and become a top seller?
From my company’s best-selling cases in recent years, the formula is **three truths, twelve characters**:
**Policy-backed · Hardware-led · Affordable pricing**

## 1. Policy-Backed: Riding the Wave of Regulation
### Why Policy Matters
In the ToG space, **policy is a golden signboard**. Once a new directive is issued, government agencies at every level race to comply — purchasing, building, and upgrading as necessary. Products that align with policy goals naturally gain traction.
### Beyond Explicit Requirements
Even if a policy doesn’t mandate specific systems or devices, it often contains **business norms and technical guidelines**. To meet them, relevant products become indispensable.
**Key Insight:** Policy documents are rarely drafted in isolation — major industry players often participate in consultations and subtly influence standards in ways that favor their offerings.
### Overcoming Implementation Gaps
Policies can face resistance:
- Some say policymakers are “out of touch.”
- Others delay or avoid compliance.
The solution? Clear **performance assessments** and **acceptance criteria**:
- Failing means loss of bonuses and public criticism.
- Complying avoids reputational damage.
**Bottom Line:** Launch products that match policy requirements, and you’ll tap into inevitable demand — sales become far easier.

## 2. Hardware-Led: Tangibility, Trust & Scalability
### Advantage 1 — Tangibility Builds Confidence
- **Face-to-face demos:** Customers can **see and touch** hardware, making purchases feel secure.
- **Inspection appeal:** Compact, sleek, high-tech gear impresses officials and signals “money well spent.”
### Advantage 2 — Perceived Security
- Governments prioritize **data safety** and **system stability**.
- Hardware can integrate security measures (e.g., encryption, isolation) more directly than software.
- Standalone devices avoid complex integrations and their associated risks.
### Advantage 3 — Easy Standardization
- Rarely requires functional changes.
- One-time investment yields lasting value with **low maintenance costs**.
- Bulk procurement simplifies distribution — each unit or person can have their own device.
### Advantage 4 — Distributor-Friendly Sales
- Physical stock motivates distributors to **sell actively** to recover their costs.
- Software, being intangible, is often sold **per project** with customization, making pre-purchase rare.
> **Note:** Software stocks don’t age well — rapid iterations make stored versions obsolete within months.
### Why Hardware Wins for Agents
- Higher R&D costs deter easy imitation.
- Slower product iteration reduces update burdens.
- Fewer customization requests mean smoother distribution.
- All of this makes hardware the “favorite” for agents in ToG sales.

## 3. Affordable Pricing: The Sweet Spot
### The Tightrope Act
Pricing must balance:
- **Too high:** Attracts competitors and triggers price wars.
- **Too low:** Squeezes profits, discourages agent involvement.
### The ¥100,000 Threshold (JCY Industry Insight)
From our analysis:
- Products priced **under ¥100,000** perform best.
- District-level agencies have **limited budgets** (~¥1M annually for IT).
- Single departments may only get ¥10k–¥20k per cycle.
### Benefits of Staying Affordable
- Low prices deter agents from DIY development or outsourcing, encouraging resale of manufacturer products.
- This **reduces malicious competition** and strengthens manufacturer-agent ties.
### Risks of Overpricing
- Encourages **knock-off products**.
- Such competitors ignore your R&D costs, focusing solely on undercutting prices.
- High prices risk pushing your product out of the market entirely.
> **Tip:** Every industry has its own “affordable threshold.” Identify yours and stick to it.

## Conclusion: The Winning ToG Product Formula
A best-selling ToG product is:
1. **Policy-backed** — aligns with official directives and compliance needs.
2. **Hardware-led** — delivers tangibility, trust, and easier distribution.
3. **Affordably priced** — stays within client budget thresholds.
Align these three and you can significantly boost sales and market penetration.
