Get ready for peak season! Tips for preparing for Amazon inventory!

The 2021 "holiday sales season" is approaching, but problems such as rising transportation costs, supply chain disruptions and the threat of the epidemic remain severe. This period is the golden period for Amazon brands and sellers to strengthen their preparations for peak season sales. The following are tips for Amazon sellers to help them plan for the 2021 "holiday sales season".

First, estimate this year's inventory needs based on the fourth quarter sales of previous years. If the products sold are non-seasonal, increase the inventory by 20% and adjust the increase ratio based on the product type.

Secondly, make sure your inventory arrives in time before the FBA warehouse arrival deadline. November 1 is the FBA inventory deadline for US sellers. Please prepare inventory as soon as possible to ensure that your products are ready before the "Black Friday", "Cyber Monday" and Christmas sales season. And reduce delays caused by rising shipping container costs and Amazon supply chain issues.

Another strategy to reduce risk and costs is to prioritize inventory for your best-selling products. Simply make sure your best-selling products are in stock ahead of time and heavily promote those best-selling products during the "holiday season." Not only will this strategy maximize sales profits, but it will also reduce the stress of managing products during supply chain crises, and you can ensure that the products you invest in are more valuable.

Finally, it is critical to have a contingency plan in place for the 2021 holiday season. Here are two ways to address inventory supply chain backlogs:

One option is to work with a third-party logistics company. Another consideration is to prepare a FBM "Plan B". If your inventory cannot arrive at the Amazon logistics warehouse before the Amazon deadline, sellers need to make a Plan B on how to handle inventory storage and the ability to fulfill peak season sales orders. In short, it is recommended that you prepare early and prepare for big sales!
