For many Amazon sellers, Q4 is their most lucrative time of the year. But it also takes a lot of work, so we’ve put together seven Amazon selling tips you can use to make the most of that money-rich time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Be Mindful of Storage Fees<\/h2>\n

Two dates to circle on your calendar are 15 February and 15 August, the dates when Amazon assesses for long-term storage fees<\/a>. You\u2019ll also want to keep in mind that storage fees during November and December are at their peak, but that can be offset by the higher volume of sales.<\/p>\n

One strategy you can use is to send merchandise to fulfillment centres on 16 February or 16 August. You might also want to take a harder look at which items you send to the centres, as they\u2019ll be crazy-busy during the holidays.<\/p>\n

2. Balance Your Inventory<\/h2>\n

New sellers might not have enough funding to really bolster their inventories, so they\u2019ll probably sell out of items \u2014 which can be good because then you\u2019re not stuck with leftover stock. More veteran sellers can stock their inventories so they have a bit left over at the end.<\/p>\n

The best way to forecast for the current year is to look at the last year and predict when you\u2019ll sell out by, then order stock to meet your goals. If you end up over-stocking, remember that it\u2019s usually better to sell at a discount or a loss than to pay long-term storage fees.<\/p>\n

3. Use Extensions to Your Advantage<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a new seller who doesn\u2019t have last year\u2019s data to work with, that\u2019s okay. You\u2019ve got tools like Keepa and camelcamelcamel to help you out with historical data. Hint: toys sell really, really<\/em> well during Q4. Look for deals on toys from places like Walmart, Target, Aldi, Ollies and Alibaba.<\/p>\n

4. Make a Plan and Stick to It<\/h2>\n

There will be peaks and valleys during Q4, and it\u2019ll be oh-so-easy to get over-excited during the peaks and overly despondent during the valleys. But make a solid plan relatively devoid of emotion, and stick to it. Trust the process. And don\u2019t get caught up in the whirlwind and mania of Q4. Set a schedule for when things will happen and prepare for the highs and lows of the season.<\/p>\n

For example, use FBA or SFP up until Christmas Eve, instead of FBM which could result in lower sales. If you haven\u2019t won a Buy Box before the holiday season starts, that\u2019s usually because the low-cost sellers have gotten it. That\u2019s fine, wait for them to sell out and move on in around mid-October.<\/p>\n

5. Subcontract and Outsource<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t look at sales in strictly dollars-and-cents terms, but how wisely-spent money can bring the biggest returns. If paying local teens to package things for you frees up time for you to fulfill more orders, that can be worth it. Same if you\u2019re driving packages out to a shipping centre instead of paying someone to pick them up for you. Figure out how much your time is worth and spend accordingly.<\/p>\n

6. Use Inventory Management Software<\/h2>\n

There are very few situations in which not<\/em> using inventory software<\/a> would be the better option. But for about 99.9% of sellers, it\u2019s the smart thing to do. It helps keep everything in one location, can manage feedback reviews easily and efficiently, and reprice individual items at a rate far faster than you could.<\/p>\n

7. Promote Products and Optimise Ads<\/h2>\n

Q4 is when you\u2019re going to likely get the most visibility all year, so it\u2019s doubly important to make the best possible use of that. Create ad campaigns<\/a> so ads get to the most people as possible, but be careful not to overspend.<\/p>\n

Same with promoting products. Start early to increase product sales ranks and be competitive right out of the gate so you can enjoy raising your prices when demand outstrips supply.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

Whatever strategy you employ, it\u2019s crucial to have Amazon repricing software<\/a> in your corner to minimise errors and labour hours. Because things can happen so fast during Q4, using a repricer helps ensure you\u2019re there to meet every change head-on instead of reacting to it after the fact.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no better option than Repricer. Short of bringing you coffee in bed in the morning, we\u2019ll do just about everything else. Find out now by signing up and starting with a 14-day free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n
