E341: The Pros and Cons of Selling Seasonal Products Online

With the holidays just around the corner, Dave and I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about seasonal products, their pros and cons, and the best ways to optimize them for maximum profit.

But we aren’t just talking about Christmas lights and “4th of July” merch. We acknowledge that there’s a seasonality factor to every product, and we discuss this using our own brands as examples.
