Al Fakher Max Seasonal Demand Planning Checklist 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Max problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
Across the trade, seasonal demand planning is the point where good intentions meet operational reality on the Max.
Seasonality interacts with seasonal demand planning more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Max
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Max.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
