Predict sales based on previous years’ data, market trends, and inventory turnover rates. Keeping a close eye on the numbers will save you from the dreaded overselling or running out of stock.
2. Don’t Be a One-Horse Sleigh
Offering a diverse range of products can be your secret weapon during peak seasons. Remember, not everyone wants a partridge in a pear tree. So, diversify your inventory to cater to the wide array of customer preferences. Spice up your product line-up and jingle all the way to success!
3. Be On Rudolph’s Speed Dial
