Program
When should retailers start planning a seasonal product program with WINSWIFT?
Plan backwards from the shelf date: 60–90 days for production and inspection, plus 2–4 weeks for sampling and packaging approval. For summer products like SUP pumps and fans, specifications should be locked in the first quarter; for Christmas-season items, by mid-year at the latest.
