Let's get more inspiration on summer products and promotions from this article.

 

The Summer Shopping Season Promotion Guidelines

 

The impact of seasons on shopping and retail is obvious. And retailers have many opportunities to expand their sales every summer. For example, general summer products, camping & swimming equipment, graduation & the school season products, etc. are all great summer retail choices. For dropshipping, grasping the timing of planning products and marketing can better promote the increase in summer sales.

 

The summer shopping season usually starts in May and ends until August.

May is the best time to plan products, confirm the products with your suppliers, add them to your store, and price them, just before consumers shop in bulk.

 

 

Marketing and pre-sale can begin in June. For experienced dropshippers, pre-sales can predict and determine consumer demand and order quantity in advance by allowing customers to pay product deposits, and quickly get parts of the money back.

 

You will have plenty of time during the pre-sale to prepare the product in stock (stored in the supplier's warehouse) with your dropshipping supplier. For the dropshipping model, preparing inventory in advance can greatly shorten the time for suppliers to process products and deliver products to your customers faster.

 

When everything is in place, the pre-sale is over, and the summer sale has officially started, your supplier will handle the order and delivery for you. You just need to adjust the product and inventory according to the sales volume, and then sit back and wait for the profits to reach your pocket.

 

Note, however, that the amount of inventory depends on the number of pre-sale orders, so don't blindly predict your future sales and buy too much inventory.

 

Until the end of July, dropshippers who sell seasonal products such as clothing and accessories, can clear their product inventory at attractive discounts and get the last wave of profit from summer sales.

 

Of course, we do not recommend dropshipping beginners to buy inventory in advance. You only need to sell the hot and trending products directly. After all, the advantage of dropshipping is that you can sell any product at any time without being bound by inventory.
