With less than a month to go, you should already be planning to mitigate the effects the holiday will have on your operations. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you sell to an international market or outsource your inventory internationally, you\u2019re likely to be affected by the upcoming Lunar New Year. Thus, your business must plan and mitigate the holiday\u2019s effects on your business. <\/p>\n\n\n The Lunar New Year also comes with unique opportunities for growth and profit. Here\u2019s how to manage your cross-border e-commerce practices over the upcoming weeks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you work directly with an international supplier, ask them about their operations before and during the Lunar New Year. This can help you manage your expectations and adjust your operations accordingly. If your inventory delivery is likely to be affected close to the holiday, consider ordering a larger quantity. That way, you won\u2019t have to order more inventory during a time when delivery times may not be the most reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This also reduces the risk of running out of stock and missing out on potential sales. Consider working with logistics companies with international warehouses or diversify your shipping loads. This can reduce the risk of delays caused by international shipping, port congestion, and other issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #NinjaTip: <\/em><\/strong>Ninja Van has fulfillment centers and warehouses all over Southeast Asia, allowing us to offer cost-effective and fixed-cost services to our shippers. <\/em>Learn more about Ninja Fulfillment.<\/a><\/em><\/strong> In some cases, there may be an inevitable delay in your fulfillment operations because of the Lunar New Year.
