The Secret to Seasonal Amazon Sales

Every seller dreams of that explosive seasonal moment: the month when demand spikes, customers go wild, and sales charts finally look like fireworks instead of flat lines. But here’s the twist most new sellers don’t realize: seasonal success doesn’t start in the season. It starts months earlier, long before anyone is thinking about Christmas lights, Halloween costumes, or summer essentials. The brands that win big are the ones quietly laying the groundwork while everyone else is still asleep.

Seasonal products only get one big moment each year, so if you start fixing your listing or chasing your first reviews right when the season begins… yeah, it’s already too late. The smartest sellers treat the off-season like a warm-up round—building traction early, getting reviews, and letting their listings settle in. Because when the peak hits, Amazon doesn’t reward the fastest, it rewards the most prepared.

The Story

Our client Formosa Lights first discovered us through Google. The brand’s Taiwanese owner, based in the Philippines, had interviewed every Amazon agency across Taiwan before ultimately deciding, “RD is the best choice after talking to everyone, we want to work with you.” Interestingly, we still haven’t met him in person to this day. During our initial discussion, he introduced his main product: Christmas lights— even though it was only March. We advised him honestly: The product wouldn’t perform until later in the year. Instead, we recommended launching additional non-seasonal lights as well to help establish the account, build early reviews, and create steady sales momentum well ahead of the holiday rush. And that’s how the partnership began.

To our surprise, even during the off-season, the Christmas lights and the non-seasonal lights both sold immediately. After three months, we extended the contract into a long-term partnership to test sales performance in November. Surprisingly, the account started generating strong results, reaching about $10k USD in monthly sales. Customer feedback was exceptional, with consistent 4.9-star reviews that reinforced the product’s strong quality. This early traction boosted confidence on both sides as we moved toward peak season. 

Before November even arrived, based on performance trends, we forecasted November revenue at around $70-$80k USD, with an optimistic scenario of $100K. Once the ads went live, despite occasional interruptions caused by credit-card issues, the account exceeded all expectations. November closed at an impressive $143,000 USD!

Strong product quality, fair pricing, and a strategically prepared account foundation carried the brand to success. And it all began with a single Google search and a conversation about Christmas lights in March.

Key Insight: Timing and preparation matter just as much as product quality. By building the account months before peak season, Formosa Light entered November already established, trusted, and visible, allowing them to outperform all expectations once demand surged.

Pro Tip: Start preparing early, even if your product is seasonal. Build your reviews, stabilize your listing, and collect real market data long before the peak period arrives. When your target season hits, you won’t be starting from zero, you’ll be scaling from strength.
