Your chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card when you share your holiday selling tip
November is a busy time here on the Forums - everyone is busy gearing up for selling during the holidays. After all, in 2022, Salesforce recapped that consumers spent a total of $1.14 trillion online globally and $270 billion in the U.S. during the holiday season, and Insider Intelligence predicts a 4.5% growth in retail sales for the 2023 holiday season!
So, we're asking all our selling partners - across different categories, sales experience, and locations - to share with your fellow sellers your top tip for selling during the holiday season. We're accepting responses from now until 11:59PM PT on 11/17, at which point 10 lucky respondents will be awarded $100 in Amazon gift cards. We will notify the potential prize winners via their Forums account on Monday 11/20/23, and post the winner’s usernames on Forums. US residents only, 18+.

TIP
Now that Amazon wants to play with sellers Handling Times without their knowledge, it would be safer to use VACATION MODE than increase your handling time for a few days if you need a few days off for HOLIDAYs.
Increasing days was always the best option before as you can keep your items active and if a buyer was willing to wait a few extra days we all win.
But some overlord needed to get their sticky fingers involved and I don't fully trust sku level handling times anymore. Too many FORUM posts lately about them being changed by Amazon automatically.

Step away to spend time with family / loved ones.
It's a strange time right now sales-wise, but don't let this situation blind you from recognizing what is most important in life at the end of the day.
