Decide the quantities first
Calculate expected selling price, margin, stock turnover and reorder needs before choosing styles. Separate items you know sell from speculative trends; viral attention is not the same as confirmed demand.
Check the real cost of promotions
Account for marketplace fees, discounts, packaging, shipping and the trip itself. Compare suppliers and payment conditions. National retail news is useful context but cannot predict the sales of an individual business.
Plan beyond November
Consider the Christmas and summer season, but use your own past sales and budget to set stock limits.
