Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Mint problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
What follows is a practical view of seasonal demand planning for the Mint, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.
A written internal standard for seasonal demand planning makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Mint
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind seasonal demand planning: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
