October to December represents a make or break quarter for e-commerce brands. But the ongoing negotiations with the US and China adds a layer of complexity for entrepreneurs in their busiest season, as many Chinese vendors now require inventory payments upfront. To help founders dealing with this changing vendor landscape, Clearbanc is launching an\u00a0Inventory Protection Program<\/a>\u00a0to support e-commerce founders in the lead up to the holiday shopping rush.<\/p>\n

Black Friday \/ Cyber Monday (BFCM) and the holiday season drive the lion\u2019s share of annual revenue, and it\u2019s predicted that shoppers will spend over\u00a0$136 billion in Q4 of 2019.<\/a>\u00a0That\u2019s a 13% increase from last year with 50% of it coming over the BFCM long weekend.<\/p>\n

Many online retail companies rely on imports from China. Recent negotiations pose new challenges for these businesses, particularly when it comes to the fulfillment and shipping of holiday orders. With online orders making up an increasing portion of BFCM spend, it\u2019s vital for online direct-to-consumer brands to front-load inventory sourcing for the holiday season.<\/p>\n

In an effort to help founders safeguard themselves against this potential Q4 threat, Clearbanc is offering inventory protection for online brands.<\/p>\n

US-China negotiations could have a huge impact on e-commerce bottom lines<\/h2>\n

If the planned levies on Chinese goods go into effect, by December 15 the increases will apply to upwards of\u00a0$75 billion worth of American goods.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite delays in the previously planned October 15 hike, the uncertainty around Chinese imports has already created an unstable environment with rippling effects on e-commerce businesses and their customers.<\/p>\n
