The opportunity for Amazon sellers to absolutely crush it and make tons of money is all right in front of us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM PODCAST   
GET SMART WITH INVENTORY  One of the most important components of having a successful Q4 is to have a strategy around your inventory. You need to find a fine balance of having the right inventory in order to maximize profits. If Amazon sellers have too much inventory stored at Amazon FBA then you will eat up all your profits with the sky high storage fees that Amazon charges in Q4. If you don't have enough then you could run out of stock in the middle of the madness and lose out on sales and profit as well which is no fun. 
Analyze your products historical sales data to determine how much inventory you will need to be comfortably in stock If this is a new product then analyze your competitions historical sales data Consider storing your inventory at an off-sight warehouse and then drip feeding it into Amazon FBA as needed.  Or store inventory at your house if possible and drip feed into Amazon FBA as needed OTHER KEY POINTS If you have a gift-able item then consider optimizing your listing to highlight that.   Add pictures to showcase your item in a holiday setting Consider adding video to highlight that your item makes a great gift for the holidays  Update your sales copy to highlight that it makes a great gift Tighten up your Amazon PPC ads campaigns NOW Consider increasing your PPC spend during key times during Q4 Expand your campaigns and cast a wider net  Make sure you are running coupons and appropriate promotions as customers are deal shopping Build your own email list or Many Chat audience to drive traffic to your offers Raise your prices if your competition runs out of stock so you can maximize profits Increased sales and traffic on Amazon usually stays strong well into January and February  Make sure to place your inventory orders at the end of December to ensure orders are completed before suppliers shut down for Chinese New Year Having success in Q4 on Amazon is all about preparation. Put the work in now and reap the rewards later. When you use a platform like Amazon FBA they will take care of the heavy lifting for you. So after you get done listening to this podcast I would recommend you sit down in silence and sketch out a plan of attack. Then immediately take action on one of those action points to build momentum. 
To your Q4 success!
