There are five fewer selling days in the holiday sales season this year. That means it's time to double down on major promotional events. But does it make sense to to take on additional capital expenses to build out more capacity for Peak volume spikes? In this era of margin preservation and variable cost models, probably not. That's why in 2023, Warmies supplemented their internal fulfillment operations with short-term fulfillment support from Ware2Go, a UPS Company. With Ware2Go's easy plug-and-play technology integration, Warmies seamlessly connected their internal operations to Ware2Go’s network for the holiday sales season, giving them the excess capacity they needed only when they needed it.

Use these three strategies to make this peak season your best yet: 1. Breakthrough FBA Capacity Limits: Don’t let FBA inventory limits hinder your sales potential on Amazon. Instead, protect yourself by ensuring that you’ve got a backup fulfillment method like FBM or SFP. 2. Find a Scalable Fulfillment Solution: Instead of expanding internal capacity, find a short-term partner to help you handle demand spikes. This approach keeps capital investment low without sacrificing service levels. 3. Incentivize Larger Carts: Boost per-customer spending by suggesting accessories, offering custom kits, or bundling high-end products. Set free shipping minimums to consistently increase average order values. Want more tips on rolling out these strategies or finding a reliable outsourced partner?

For most business owners, there are two paths to success: 1️⃣ Reduce costs 2️⃣ Increase profits But eCommerce entrepreneurs have the ability to reach these goal posts. For you, shaving off supply chain costs from 9% to 4% can double your profits. Yes, you read that right! It all comes down to how you optimize your inventory days on hand. Here’s what that actually means 👇 “Inventory days on hand” measures how many days it takes to sell your inventory. Track this, and you can optimize stock levels, prevent cash flow issues, and make more informed business decisions. Here’s how it works 🛠️ ✅ Faster inventory turnover lets you respond to trends before competitors ✅ Maintaining leaner inventory levels means minimizing storage and holding costs ✅ Less inventory also frees up cash to reinvest in your business ✅ Ultimately, there’s also less of a chance that chance of obsolete stock hangs around, draining your resources The best part is that there’s no second-guessing here, because the magic’s in the numbers. Use either of these formulas to calculate the “inventory on hand” metric and regularly monitor your stock levels. 1️⃣ Formula 1: Average Inventory / (COGS / Accounting Period Days) 2️⃣ Formula 2: Days in Accounting Period / Inventory Turnover Ratio So, how do you actually shorten the days of inventory on hand and boost your cash flow?
