Three risk factors to be wary of during Amazon’s peak season
This year’s Amazon end-of-year peak season is quite different from previous years. Everyone knows the reason. The general feedback this year is that Amazon sellers can say that it is the most difficult year. There is no one. All many Amazon sellers pin all their expectations on In this year’s peak season sales, I hope to reverse this year’s decline. At this moment, the sellers are also full of anxiety and anxiety. The sellers still have a lot of concerns, so today I will discuss this topic with you. Here are some risks to be aware of.
- Ensure that Amazon has sufficient stock and can be put on the shelves in time during the peak season of Amazon
Regarding stocking up, I think everyone sent out in August and September of this year. The current situation is that the goods are still floating on the sea, and everyone has noticed the news that the US terminal is seriously congested, especially Los Angeles, the second terminal in the west of the United States. And Long Beach Port, it can be said that it is the most serious congestion event in history. A large number of container ships are waiting to berth and unload. I think this situation was not expected in August and September. At most, it is only three or five searches. Now that it has happened, it is not effective for the seller to urge the freight forwarder. It is useless to remedy the matter now. We can only hope that the goods will be unloaded and sent to the warehouse as soon as possible. This is an external factor. We can’t control it, we can only make predictions, most of them don’t have this ability, and right now we can only keep in close contact with the freight forwarder, and let the Bodhisattva bless the rest.
- The risk of high return rate in peak season
Due to the special circumstances of this year, Amazon has limited the storage capacity, resulting in many sellers unable to send FBA, and can only switch to overseas warehouses, which will bring about a problem. The return rate of self-delivery orders will increase, and overseas warehouses are rarely available for sellers. Most of the returned goods are basically the same as waste products, so everyone should pay attention to the return rate of self-delivery orders. The sales volume brought by the peak season is high, and the return rate will also increase. This point everyone It should be noted that the return management work should be well organized to reduce the loss caused by the return.
- The problem of product out of stock after the peak season
When the peak season is over, there will be varying degrees of risk of out-of-stock product inventory. In addition to doing a good job in sales control, regarding the inventory supply of hot-selling products, especially under the current background of power cuts, my judgment is The time for the factory to leave early for the workers to go home for the Chinese New Year will come earlier. If you are planning production after the Chinese New Year, you have to consider whether there will be out of stock and how long you can keep the inventory. If the supply is not predicted, you must start preparing for the end of the year. The stock is ready, and a wave will be sent before the Chinese New Year to ensure that the product sales will not be out of stock.
For the arrival of the peak season, under the special background of this year, the sellers have high expectations. At the same time, everyone should be fully prepared for the control of all aspects. It is not easy to survive this year. Come on!
