Author: Bob Hamilton

Owning a dollar store business involves so many activities. Often you are being pulled to perform multiple tasks all at the same time. As you look to decide which must be done first you discover they are all critical to the health and long-term success of your business. Well, here it is little more than 60 days after the last holiday season and one of those critical tasks awaits. That’s right; it is already time to pre-book your seasonal merchandise for a holiday season that is about ten months away! In this article I present when to order seasonal merchandise for your dollar store business.

The year is filled with holidays and events. If you get busy and forget to order every item for many of the holidays you’ll lose a few dollars in sales. However in most cases there won’t be an impact to the overall results for the current year. That’s not true with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most retailers count on the sales and profits from those holidays to determine their final success for the entire year.

Your dollar store business is no different. You are counting on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to really boost your final results. It is important to have the most requested items in-stock and ready to sell as customers begin to seek them. Waiting until the last minute to order puts you at risk of not receiving those exact items. You also risk being required to pay top dollar for lower quality items.

Probably the last thing on your mind right now is seasonal sales next fall and winter. Yet now is the time to take action. It is important to pre-order all the seasonal merchandise for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas immediately. Top suppliers will negotiate delivery dates so you have the merchandise you need ready to go on display to meet customer demand.

Make this year’s holidays a real bonus for your dollar store business. Pre-book your holiday merchandise now so you get the best, in-demand products when your customers want them. While it takes a little time right now, you get to select the best of the best for your shoppers. They will reward you with purchases and return trips to make more purchases. Don’t wait another minute, order your seasonal merchandise today.

To your dollar store business success!
