Effective inventory management is crucial for resellers to balance supply and demand, reduce costs, and ensure customer satisfaction. Using tools like Google Sheets can help streamline processes and maintain accurate inventory records. Common inventory mistakes include overstocking or under stocking, which can negatively impact cash flow and business growth. Implementing an inventory management system, such as categorising inventory or using SKU numbers, can help avoid these mistakes. Regularly reviewing inventory, discounting or bundling slow-moving items, and tracking seasonal trends are important strategies for efficient inventory management. Establishing reorder protocols and using historical data can help predict future inventory needs.
