5. Account for Unexpected Spikes

Build a buffer into your inventory to handle unanticipated surges in demand. This proactive approach ensures you’re prepared for last-minute purchases while maintaining customer satisfaction.

2. Use Predictive Analytics and Tools

Leverage inventory management systems and predictive analytics tools to analyze market trends and forecast demand. These tools help automate calculations, providing insights into reorder points, lead times, and optimal stock levels for holiday success.

4. Collaborate with Suppliers and Fulfillment Partners

Open clear communication lines with your suppliers to confirm lead times and ensure timely stock replenishment.
