Al Fakher Mint Seasonal Demand Planning Explained
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Mint problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
Distributors reviewing their Mint range usually find that seasonal demand planning explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Retail staff rarely ask about seasonal demand planning directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Mint
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
Keeping a short internal note on seasonal demand planning for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Mint.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
