What can you do to maximize your results<

Leverage Post-Holiday Demand

  • Why: Shoppers continue spending after the holidays, redeeming gift cards and shopping for items they didn’t receive as gifts.

  • Action Step: Focus on replenishing popular inventory categories like electronics, toys, fitness equipment, and home organization products.

  • Tip: Use tools like SpyRivals and BOLO AI to identify trends and profitable items.

Optimize for Achieving your Goals

  • Why: January is peak season for products related to fitness, health, organization, and self-improvement.

  • Action Step: Stock up on items like fitness gear, planners, storage solutions, and wellness products.

  • Tip: Stay focused on your goals. Change and adapt them as needed. Continue to increase your expectations for your results.

Avoid Long-Term Storage Fees

  • Why: Amazon charges long-term storage fees on inventory sitting in FBA warehouses for extended periods.

  • Action Step: Review your inventory using Amazon’s Inventory Performance Index (IPI) and consider running discounts or promotions on slow-moving products.

  • Tip: Use the Internet Mastery Repricer to adjust prices dynamically and improve sell-through rates.

Prepare for Seasonal Categories

  • Why: Products like Valentine’s Day gifts, winter gear, and tax preparation tools become high-demand in Q1.

  • Action Step: Source and list products tied to upcoming seasonal events. Ensure your inventory is in Amazon warehouses at least 3-4 weeks ahead of these events.

  • Tip: Use Wholesale Analyzer to assess which seasonal items have the best margins and velocity when purchasing from a wholesaler.

Use Prep Center AI or Home Prep AI

  • Why: Customers expect quick delivery, especially after the holiday season.

  • Tip: According to Amazon, FBA sales are 8X higher than FBM shipments. STOP using FBM to achieve the best results.

Analyze 2024 Performance
