What happened?
Amazon.pl published information on October 19 about seller cases and consumer trends during the year-end shopping season. The report said that after the Prime promotional event ended, demand from Black Friday, Christmas and year-end gifting would continue to drive Europe into its peak shopping period. Some Polish brands need to prepare inventory months in advance, while NEO TOOLS saw its sales on Amazon.pl increase 153% year over year. On the consumer side, about six in ten Polish consumers plan to shop around promotional events such as Black Friday, and some plan to spend more than they did the previous year. Product opportunities mentioned in the report include tools, home goods, footwear and apparel, beauty products, gifts and seasonal products. For Chinese and other Asian cross-border sellers, operations require localization covering the local language, delivery promises, return addresses and EU compliance requirements. Because warehousing, last-mile delivery and returns processing may face pressure during Black Friday and Christmas, sellers using FBA or European overseas warehouses should replenish inventory in advance based on historical sales and promotional schedules and avoid concentrating all inventory in a single country.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Amazon.pl said Black Friday, Christmas and year-end gifting will continue to drive Europe into its peak shopping period, creating opportunities in tools, home goods, footwear and apparel, beauty products and gifts. Plan FBA or European overseas warehouse inventory early, while completing localization for the local language, delivery promises, return addresses and EU compliance to reduce warehousing, last-mile and returns pressure.
