🎄 5 Ways to Maximize the Christmas Season on Amazon

The holiday season is the most profitable time of the year for Amazon sellers — but only if you prepare smart and act fast. Here are five proven strategies to help you squeeze every dollar out of this year’s Christmas rush.

🎁 1. Double Down on Fast-Moving Inventory

Christmas isn’t the time to experiment with slow movers. Focus on products that already sell consistently — then replenish them aggressively. Use SpyRivals and BOLO Search to identify top-selling toys, electronics, and seasonal items with strong sales velocity. If it’s moving in November, it’ll fly off the shelves in December.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t underestimate “everyday” items. Gift cards, batteries, wrapping paper, and accessories surge in Q4.

🚚 2. Use the Internet Mastery Prep Center to Stay In Stock

Inventory that’s sitting in your garage doesn’t make you money. Send your shipments through the Internet Mastery Prep Center early so your products arrive at Amazon FBA in time for the cutoff dates. Our team can handle labeling, packaging, and bundling — you just focus on sourcing and scaling.

📦 Remember: Amazon gets backed up during December. Prep early, ship early, and keep cash flow moving.

💡 3. Get Ungated Before It’s Too Late

There’s nothing worse than spotting a hot product only to realize you can’t sell it. Use your Seller Blackbook™ or verified wholesale suppliers to get ungated in key categories like Toys, Grocery, and Beauty before the Christmas crush hits.

🎯 Bonus Tip: Even if you’ve never been ungated before, our community resources make it simple — just follow the step-by-step guides inside Internet Mastery.

📊 4. Use Data, Not Guesswork

Your biggest advantage this season? Information. Run your wholesale lists through the Wholesale Analyzer, and use SpyRivals to evaluate competition, average sales rank, and profitability. Data-driven sellers make faster, smarter buying decisions — while everyone else plays catch-up.

📈 Ask Yourself: “Would I still buy this if I had to sell it in January?” If the answer’s yes, it’s likely a solid investment.

🎯 5. Set a Clear Holiday Goal

Don’t just “see how it goes.” Decide right now how much profit you want to generate by December 31 — then reverse-engineer it. How many items will you need to sell per day? How many shipments must you send in? When you measure it, you can manage it — and that’s how Internet Mastery sellers hit record-breaking numbers every Q4.

🎯 5 Product Sourcing Strategies for Buying in December to Maximize the New Year!

December isn’t just for selling — it’s one of the best times all year to source incredible retail deals that set you up for massive Q1 profits. While most shoppers chase gifts, smart Amazon sellers chase margins. Use these five retail arbitrage strategies (online and in-store) to buy smarter this month.

🛍️ 1) Take Advantage of Post-Holiday Price Drops

Right after Christmas, major retailers discount thousands of items to clear space. That’s your signal to stock up on high-demand products that keep selling in January.

• Toys with year-round demand (Lego, Hot Wheels, board games)
• Kitchen appliances & household essentials
• Health & fitness items for New Year’s goals

💡 Pro Tip: Set up daily deal alerts inside store apps—price drops can last only hours.

💻 2) Work Both Channels: Online + In-Store Discounts

Many stores run stackable promos (online coupons + in-store clearance). Check both—markdown shelves often beat the website, while online has coupon codes the store doesn’t.

5 retail sites to watch in December:

• 🏬 Target.com — Daily-updating clearance in toys, beauty, home
• 🎮 BestBuy.com — Small electronics, accessories, peripherals
• 🎁 Walmart.com — Post-holiday clearance + hidden rollback deals
• 🧸 Kohls.com — Stack coupons with Kohl’s Cash for deep savings
• 🧼 CVS.com / Walgreens.com — Seasonal, vitamins, cosmetics up to 70% off

🧠 Verify Profit Fast: Before you buy, check rank, price history, and competition with your IM tools.

🧠 3) Prioritize “Everyday Demand,” Not Holiday Hype

December is noisy. Skip the fads and focus on items people buy every month. These drive steady Q1 sales.

• Vitamins & supplements
• Cleaning & household supplies
• Beauty & personal care essentials
• Office/school basics (paper, ink, organizers)

✅ Rule of Thumb: If it solves an everyday problem, it will keep selling in January and beyond.

🛒 4) Stack Savings: Price Match, Cash-Back, and Rewards

Protect your margins by stacking savings. Use store price match policies, plus cash-back tools like Rakuten, Capital One Shopping, and Honey. Rewards cards and store loyalty programs can turn decent flips into great flips.

📊 Track It: Log base price, discounts, and rebates. The stack is profit—don’t leave it on the table.

🔓 5) Get Ungated Now So You Can Buy What’s Profitable

Nothing stings like finding a winning deal you can’t list. If you’re gated in Toys, Grocery, or Health & Beauty, fix that now so you can capitalize on December pricing.
