You do not expect to hear people talking about the holidays just yet, but you should be thinking about them!
While Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day, and so many other holidays seem pretty far off, many retailers already have their holiday plans in place. This does not mean they know whose house their gathering and whether they are making a turkey or ham. This has more to do with how they plan to sell those turkeys and hams and where they might get them from. In addition, there are a number of other items associated with the holiday season, and not just those for resale.
With the holidays often comes inclement weather, so retailers and organizations must have some sort of plan for snow removal and deicing capabilities. If people cannot get to your store, they certainly cannot shop at your store. Having a plan of your season items and services is something you should be working on if not already completed.
A procurement partner like SafeSourcing can help you with your planning. While it might still be up in the air who will make pumpkin pie, we want your business to be able to get pumpkin pie and can help your procurement efforts find the right suppliers and products that fit your organization’s needs. We will collaborate with your team and can help overcome challenges you have faced and know that when the time comes, you will be ready for those season’s greetings.
