Just like the big box retailers, you have to decide what to do with any leftover Christmas products or supplies in your Silhouette or Cricut small business. Let’s take a look at the three options today, along with the pros and cons.

What to Do With Leftover Christmas Inventory

1. Pack it all up and save it for next year.
   • Pros: If you have the extra space, it isn’t difficult to pack up your products and sell them next year. You don’t even have to wait until the next holiday season, because Christmas in July is a thing!
   • Cons: If you’ve got a lot of money invested in the products, you won’t get your money back immediately.
2. Clearance it out. Offer your remaining Christmas inventory at a discounted price.
   • Pros: You’ll get rid of everything and customers love sales!
   • Cons: Holding a sale can be tedious. Also, you may not make as much money as you had planned by putting Christmas products on sale.
3. Do nothing. There are many craft businesses who leave Christmas products listed in their shop year round. (I mean, think of the brick and mortar Christmas stores who stay open all year long!)
   • Pros: You’ll get a little extra rest in if you don’t do anything with your remaining Christmas inventory.
   • Cons: Unsold Christmas inventory may sell slowly and take up virtual space in your shop.
