Seasonal Inventory Management – Festivals and Demand Spikes

Indian retail has clear seasonal peaks—Diwali, Holi, back-to-school, monsoon. Plan stock accordingly.

Key Seasonal Periods

• Diwali – Sweets, gifts, crackers, decorative items
• Holi – Colors, sweets, water guns
• Back to school – Stationery, bags, uniforms
• Monsoon – Umbrellas, raincoats, snacks
• Summer – Cold drinks, ice cream, fans

Tips for Seasonal Stock

1. Order early – Suppliers get busy; order 4–6 weeks ahead
2. Use past data – What sold last year? Adjust quantities
3. Set reorder points – Alert when stock runs low during peak
4. Clear leftovers – Discount slow-moving seasonal stock after the event
