For example, you decided to sell Christmas decorations! That’s a great idea, mainly if you can sell goods online in your country and abroad! You need to find a warehouse, hire someone to process orders, and many other nuances. The sales season of this production is short – 2–3 months. It should be noted that before Christmas, sales of online retailers show growth of 50-200%, depending on the product category. But not everyone can cope with such a flow of orders. If human resources are exhausted, it’s time to turn to a fulfillment company.
What Is Seasonal Business?
Seasonal business differs from the usual one in that it brings profit only at a specific time of the year, and many of its types are in demand regardless of location. An excellent option for a seasonal business in the USA and Europe is the sale of umbrellas or raincoats in the off-season.
Also, a seasonal business can be considered any significant holiday celebrated en masse, and it can be the Chinese New Year or the sale of fancy sweaters for Christmas. Such a business can be renewed every season or constantly kept afloat by changing its theme.
