Seasonal Buying Guide for Shirts
To maximize sales, timing is crucial. For spring/summer, order in September-October to receive stock by January-February. For fall/winter, order in March-April for delivery by July-August. This allows for marketing and display.
Why Plan Ahead?
- Production Lead Time: Our production takes 2-3 weeks, but shipping adds time.
- Trend Alignment: Early ordering ensures you have the latest styles.
- Example: AC-RS-001 (oxford) is perfect for spring, priced at $12.50.
Our Recommendation
We suggest ordering 6-8 months in advance for major seasons. AUTOCNEX offers flexible MOQ of 30 to help you test.
