It is difficult to predict the sales volume when the products are first put on the shelves, but we all hope that the products will sell well in the early stage, so that we can reserve more inventory when stocking in the early stage. After the product has been on the shelves for a period of time, the sales volume of the product can be tracked, and the sales volume can be used to predict the future sales volume of the product. Or use the product sales forecasting tool to predict the sales of a product. However, considering that the arrival time of replenishment is affected by many factors, such as the shortage of suppliers and the time required for logistics, it is suggested that you can prepare an inventory quantity of 1.5-2 times the sales volume after verifying the inventory to avoid shortage.
2. Timely replenishment of goods
However, the sales forecast is only a reference data, and it is difficult for us to determine when the sales will skyrocket, so you might as well set a minimum inventory value for your inventory. Ensure that your inventory is not lower than this value, then the product will basically not be out of stock. Of course, don't wait until the goods are out of stock, even if you have just received a batch of goods from the supplier, don't relax.
3. Check the inventory regularly
Many sellers will make an annual inventory of all FBA warehouses at the end of the year to ensure that the figures in the records are consistent with the actual figures in the warehouses. However, this method of checking inventory can be said to be time-consuming and laborious, and even requires the seller to take time out to do it.
In fact, you can choose to check the inventory once a week or once a month. If you sell a lot of products, count different kinds of products alternately every month, so you don't have to pile up all the work until the end of this year.
