Shops that receive a short briefing on seasonal demand planning convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.

Practical notes for buyers
Retail staff rarely ask about seasonal demand planning directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Royal economics actually settle.
Checklist
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
