There’s a version of Q4 that looks great in the revenue report and disappoints everywhere else.
The deal event performs. Units move. Rank holds.
Then January arrives.
Returns. Storage fees. Overstock. And the campaigns that looked healthy on blended ROAS turn out to have been losing money all along.
The brands that avoid this outcome aren't necessarily using more complicated tactics. They're setting the right constraints before peak season starts.
Our Q4 checklist gives you 18 items to review across pricing, advertising, inventory, competition, and the post-peak window.
