Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday; the list of special sales days in the coming weeks seems to grow every year and with good reason: they work. Retailers know that consumers have their eyes and ears to the market, looking for the best chance to stretch their dollar as far as it can go. But in recent years, supply chain issues have become the bane of retailers and consumers everywhere. Fortunately for us all things have gotten much, much better recently and inventory is slowly getting back to pre-pandemic levels in many industries.
To assist our industry partners both on the retail as well as manufacturing side, Fishing Tackle Retailer has set out to connect retailers with key manufacturers who have inventory on hand and ready for shipping, also referred to by some as ‘Just In Time’ shipping options. While supplies will most certainly vary from one manufacturer to the next on this list, and jumping on the opportunity without delay will be greatly advantageous; we hope that what follows will help to make your holiday season a bit more profitable this year.
