Most brands start Q4 planning in October. By then, the deadlines have already passed and the decisions have been made for you.
August is the real starting line. Inventory commits, ad budgets, and creative refreshes all happen now before traffic starts climbing in mid-September.
At Medaltus, here’s what we’re locking in this month with our and partners:
• Locking in reorder plans for top SKUs before the holiday rush
• Planning inventory for expected high demand
• Beginning the creative refresh process now, not in October
• Upgrading A+ pages before traffic peaks
Q4 doesn’t reward late starts. It rewards the brands that treated August like the real first day of the holiday season.
