Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with it comes one of the biggest shopping frenzies of the year: Black Friday to Cyber Monday. But here’s the kicker—while most people think Black Friday starts on, well, Friday, the real action starts earlier! Today marks the unofficial start, with major discounts appearing both online and in-store. It’s a little-known opportunity for great profits, and gives sellers have a golden opportunity to get ahead of the game. Find the best deals before other resellers, secure inventory at rock-bottom prices, and capitalize on early holiday shoppers who are eager to avoid the Black Friday chaos.

  

With only a few days to go, the clock is ticking! Here’s what you should do:  

1. Do Your Homework

  • Use SellerAmp’s analysis tools to research which products are likely to go on sale.
  • Look at historical data from past Black Friday deals and focus on high-demand, low-competition items.

2. Set Alerts and Notifications

  • Subscribe to retailer newsletters and enable notifications for deal announcements.
  • Keep an eye on social media—some retailers leak their deals ahead of time!

3. Be Ready to Pivot

  • Stay flexible! Inventory can sell out quickly. Have backup products to source if your first choices disappear.

4. List Your Inventory ASAP

  • Once you’ve sourced your products, get them listed as FBM immediately.
  • Use SellerAmp to optimize your listings and ensure competitive pricing. The latest integrations with Bqool and ArbiSource make this a breeze! 

5. Don’t Forget Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday!

  • While you’re busy preparing for Black Friday, remember that Thanksgiving is a huge shopping day too. Shoppers looking for last-minute holiday essentials will be browsing online, so having live inventory is a must.
  • After Black Friday, Cyber Monday on December 2nd brings another surge of online shoppers hunting for deals. Plan your inventory and pricing strategies to capitalize on this wave of demand.

 

The bottom line: The early bird doesn’t just get the worm—it gets the profits! Get organized now to beat the rush, secure the best deals, and position yourself to thrive throughout the entire Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday window. Happy sourcing, and here’s to a successful Black Friday week!
