Stay on top of the latest e-commerce and marketplace trends.
Amazon brands and retailers: Are you prepared for 2019? Have you laid out your business strategies and goals in a plan that works best for your business and you can measure against throughout the year? We know that in November and December, you can be inundated with various tasks to keep your supply chain and operational model running seamlessly throughout the holiday season. However, as soon as the surge in traffic volume and conversion gradually starts to fade at year end, you should set aside some time to begin preparation for the new year.
During this time, you can analyze your performance from the year, utilizing weekly, monthly, and quarterly sales data to pull out trends and accurately inform your sourcing and stocking decisions for 2019. You can also measure your performance during peak shopping events such as Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or any other seasonal-specific times of year based on your catalog. For example, if your top seller is ice melt, you may assess what month of the year you experienced a spike in traffic and sales velocity, and appropriately adjust your 2019 inventory based on when most consumers were preparing for winter.
