Risks & Mitigation Strategies
Supplier Reliability:
Risk: Out-of-stock items, shipping delays, or limited product range.
Mitigation: Work with multiple suppliers, maintain a buffer stock of bestsellers, and offer alternative options if a style goes out of stock.
Market Demand Fluctuations:
Risk: Changing fashion trends or seasonal slowdowns.
Mitigation: Stay updated on kids’ style trends, rotate inventory seasonally, and diversify products (e.g., school year vs. summer vacation).
