also I wanted to ask you guys what other questions do you guys have pertaining
Amazon FBA I want to you know keep making a ton of amazon videos I want to
keep answering every question you guys have so I want to know in the comment
section what question do you guys have for me that I can answer alright so yeah
without further ado let's jump right into this video now the main date I'm
gonna be talking about I'm gonna be talking about Chinese New Year varies a
little bit every year I think but a 20-18
February 16th is going to be the day for Chinese New Year now it is very you know
plus/minus is very rough number just because although that is Chinese New
Year suppliers can take various amounts of time off so some suppliers won't take
any time off you know they're just gonna work straight through it other suppliers
are going to take months off like I had months with an S at the end right so a
few months off other suppliers are gonna take you know just one usually they take
like two weeks so as I put it right here they take around about two weeks so also
side note I forgot to say this part for those of you guys who were waiting for
q4 to finish to order on Amazon you guys can go ahead and start ordering products
now because q4 is over and the date for you know shipping everything in to
Amazon has passed so you're clear you can start looking for products and start
looking at ordering your first unit or your next unit whatever it is whatever
stage of the process you guys are on anyway so back to Chinese New Year's
I've heard that some suppliers take a few months
off some suppliers take you know a few weeks I have heard of suppliers who take
nothing off they just grind their butts off work all the time
props to them they you know keep working the Monday to Friday usually even
Saturday and Sunday suppliers are very good at answering if you find the right
supplier find a good supplier but I'm going to tell you guys kind of most of
them are going to be taken like two weeks off so that's why we're gonna
prepare the only way to know for sure is to communicate with your supplier ask
them how many days are you planning on taking off on Chinese New Year are you
going to be off blah blah blah so after I tell you guys everything make sure to
go and talk to your supplier because they're gonna be the only ones that
actually you know have the 100% information for you so the more
communication the better communication you have honestly it's just the better
long-term just long-term for your whole you know for as long as you have that
product and as long as you use that supplier it's it's important to keep a
good relationship but they have trust me it makes things a lot easier so what you
guys need to start thinking is how many units are you selling a day right so
that you you should know that let's just look at your Amazon seller app what's
the average that you are doing if your product is you know just started and
you're you know you're building it up you're gonna have to keep that in mind
that you know your product is sales are going to increase as we go another thing
though you should keep in mind is that we are in Christmas season now we are in
q4 sales are higher so you're not gonna be making the same sales um January
February March as you are right now so just kind of keep that in mind if you've
been selling the product for you know a year or two you'll know this already I
probably you probably don't even need to watch this video but if you are that's
awesome and I appreciate it but anyways you probably know how many peers are
gonna be selling in January February March ish so you you know you have that
plan so that's gonna be one part and the second thing you're gonna have to keep
in mind is how long does your inventory take to come in so by the time you you
know say go to your supplier and you pay your supplier how long does it take for
them to make the product manufacture the product and then ship the product and it
get to Amazon right that whole process usually takes minimum two weeks right um
I know most of my products took two to three weeks
I've heard of people who have you know harder products manufacturer more
specific products they may take a month two months usually it's not more than a
month though but that's another thing that you would again only find out by
communicating with your suppliers so once you have those two down you can
kind of do some math and figure out how much do you need to be ordering right
when before Chinese New Year again communicate with your supplier be like
look I need to make sure I have inventory in those days so your supplier
is gonna be like okay I need you to order by this day so that we can get it
shipped before we all go on vacation so I'd say look to you know order at least
two weeks before Chinese New Year if you can like a month before Chinese New Year
and if you can cover you know instead of ordering just one month worth of
inventory if it's a product you're comfortable with and you're confident
with order two months worth that way you can just go straight through it and not
run into any issues whatsoever so the thing I recommend doing is okay so if
you're talking to if you are selling products right now that means you
already have a supplier for this product everything's going fine talk to that you
know whatsapp Skype whatever it is that you guys use for messaging them maybe
it's just Alibaba by itself I recommend talking to them off Alibaba
Alibaba is our great platform to talk to people talk to your suppliers on but
whatever it is you're doing I used whatsapp for the most part you talk to
them come up with a plan with them to make sure that everything goes according
to plan and if it doesn't you can hold them accountable for you know if they
mess up so that's gonna be if you're selling if you're not selling though you
want to make sure you order either in it well in advance before you're proud of
before Chinese New Year so like I said I'm looking like one month maybe even
one and a half months before Chinese New Year because some people gonna take the
week before off trust me it gets it's a it's not a good time to be trying that
you know Russia products is so either you order a good amount of time before
or just order after right if you are not selling and you know it's it's a week
before Chinese New Year maybe consider holding off for the one or two weeks
keep looking for your second product maybe you can launch two products at one
time I don't know what the situation is but yeah make sure you order either well
for don't order too soon two weeks you're gonna order they're not gonna
finish manufacturing and then there's gonna stop and it's gonna take like
three weeks four weeks five weeks whatever it is for them to get back and
get started it's a slow process because think about it once they get back into
you know once Chinese New Year is done everyone's back in the factory they have
to make up for all the lat all the past all the past orders that they didn't
fulfill so they have to make sure all that takes care of all that is taken
care of and that can take some time one of the things I remember is a few weeks
a few I think was like a few months ago maybe a few weeks ago I think it was a
few months ago I think it was over two months ago on the government shutdown
factories in China of due to pollution they were doing pollution inspections
and they shut down the factories now that - two things happened one thing
certain materials became more expensive for the manufacturers so the prices of
some products went up now that's not gonna be the case with Chinese New Year
thankfully but that was annoying that can save that for another video though
what the thing that is similar to this is that you know people were off for a
good amount of time so orders piled up when they came back they had to take
care of three four five weeks worth of orders that were not taking care of
because they were done for like one to two weeks and so they had to take care
of all that so you know even if you placed an order by the time your order
got fulfilled it could be like six weeks down the road because they have to
finish all the other products that we're ahead of you so that's another thing to
keep in mind I'm kind of similar to that that's why we've been through this I've
been through this so I'm trying to make sure you guys are as well-informed as I
can for you know not so we don't run into any issues basically what the whole
point of this channel isn't me helping you guys out with Amazon is I want to
make sure you guys run into it the least amount of issues trust me I've ran
through all these I you know ran through all these issues before I've run into
all of them trust me all of them says plenty of times I you know had a rough
start to Amazon in the beginning my first product went great but everything
that I could have done wrong I probably did so and if I didn't I'll probably do
it pretty soon and let you guys know so yeah that's basically guys want to make
sure you guys are super well-informed there's
a lot of information there's lot of dates that people just don't keep in
mind we keep a lot of the us dates in mind but we completely forget about the
Chinese dates and they are outrageously important because that's where our
suppliers are so just kind of something to keep in mind yeah guys that's gonna
be it for this video though just a quick little video explaining the dates making
sure you guys have everything you need all the information that you need coming
up going forward um if you guys have any questions though make sure like I said
