How to manage a year-long multi-event merch calendar
10-25 events a year, one supplier, one calendar — how to plan, stock and reorder without chaos.
Overview
A year-long event calendar (trade shows, sales kickoff, hiring waves, partner summit, exec offsite, Q4 gifting) needs to be planned 12 months out with stock buffers, decoration files locked, and a reorder cadence agreed up front. Otherwise you run rush surcharges 60% of the year.
Process
We build a master calendar with you, identify shared SKUs across events, pre-stock blanks for the high-volume items, and assign a single AM who knows every brief. Quarterly review keeps the calendar current as events shift.
