Al Fakher Dubai Plus: Seasonal Demand Planning for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Dubai Plus problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, seasonal demand planning is where most of the value on the Dubai Plus is either created or lost.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Dubai Plus.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Dubai Plus
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
A written internal standard for seasonal demand planning makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
