3. Ensure sufficient inventory levels in Amazon fulfillment centers to accommodate orders

Making sure you have enough products in Amazon fulfillment centers is important for satisfying demand and being able to deliver on time for your customers.

To help ensure you have enough inventory, we recommend taking a close look at your historical data and demand forecasts, analyzing past sales trends and future projections. Then, determine how much inventory you’ll need to satisfy forecasted demand across all your sales channels. This is especially important when you’re running seasonal promotions, such as holiday campaigns or Prime Day initiatives, since you’ll need to have inventory in Amazon fulfillment centers by a specific date.
