amazon files q4 Dec 03, 2018

Despite popular belief you do not have to hit a wall after Q4. In this episode we will give you some great tips on how to keep sales moving even after the rush of Q4 is over. HINT: You must start working NOW. Tune in for more info on how to use Q4 to grow your business.

Q4 can be exhausting, and many Amazon bundlers and sellers get burnout at this time of the year. Your Q4 momentum may not carry on over to Q1, and it’s not uncommon for sellers to experience a sales dip in January, February, and March - often leaving them feeling like all they do is handle returns. Consumers change their shopping mindset after Christmas Day, and it is essential to understand and be prepared for this.

Today, we share our thoughts and methods on how to keep your Q4 momentum going into Q1 2019. We show you how to keep your sales rolling after Christmas Day and how not to hit the proverbial brick wall in January. We share what items will sell in the New Year as people’s spending moves away from gifts, presents, and festive products. We also share strategies to help you prepare for the tax season, the importance of setting a budget to learn new skills and tools, and strategies to help you pivot your business to sell new products during the Q1 season.
