This year, there are 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, five fewer
days than there were last year. You have a shorter window to handle a
higher volume of holiday orders—with late orders likely still coming in as
customers shop later in the season.
Here are a few tips & tricks (or treats🎃) to help your team stay ahead of
demand:
- Forecast demand early: Analyze last year’s sales data and trends to
anticipate order volumes. Accurate demand forecasting helps you stock
the right inventory and avoid stockouts or overstocking. - Plan for contingencies: Anticipate disruptions by having backup plans
in place for key suppliers or logistics partners. - Have your consumables ready: Keep your workers healthy by regularly
replacing microphone caps and shared equipment. Stock up now to
reduce illness and maintain productivity. - Communicate with customers: Set clear expectations on shipping
times and encourage earlier shopping to ease the crunch. - Bring in seasonal workers: Use our free training videos to get extra
hands trained quickly.
Happy peak season!
