Aiming to make a big profit during peak seasons? Then you should have a consistent strategy ensuring inventory is available and replenished on time. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict this precisely as it is influenced by many external circumstances — from changes in customer behavior to FBA storage restrictions and global changes in the supply chain.
To help you stay up-to-date and ship inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers in advance, we have created a comprehensive Amazon holiday schedule 2022. So stay tuned to plan your business processes correctly.
When is Amazon Peak Season 2022?
We are used to starting a new year in our life and taking a risky twist in our business on January 1. But when does Amazon peak season start? Does it collide with New Year’s Eve? Not really, – peak season starts on Thanksgiving, continues through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and lasts until Christmas. To get the most out of the peak period and increase your revenue, prepare your inventory and shipping, as well as your PPC marketing strategy and budget, as early as possible.

What dates and products to take into account for Amazon peak season 2022? Let’s figure it out.
January: The Beginning of a New Life
Special dates: January 1 (New Year), January 17 (Martin Luther King Day)
While people are starting over a new life following their New Year resolutions, there is an excellent opportunity for health and sports brands to discount and attract new audiences.
February: Love Is in the Air
Special dates: February 13 (Super Bowl Day), February 14 (St. Valentine’s Day)
Lovers worldwide are looking for ways to please a significant other, so optimize your listings in advance and run PPC ads with relevant keywords. And if you sell sports goods, use the Super Bowl as a chance to boost your sales.
March: All for Women
Special dates: March 8 (International Women’s Day), March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day)
Perfumes, cosmetics, jewelry, sweets, and other goods for women are in particular demand. Also, prepare green decor, party gear, and hangover cures for St. Patrick’s Day.

Special dates: May 8 (Mother’s Day), May 31 (Memorial Day)
Do you sell gifts and souvenirs? Prepare a good deal for Mother’s Day!

The picnic season also begins, so plaids and special dishes will be helpful and desired.
June: Summer Starts Here
Special dates: June 14 (Flag Day), June 19 (Father’s Day)

July: Patriotic BBQ
Special dates: July 4 (Independence Day), July 12-13 (Prime Day)
The demand for American flags and other symbols appropriate for Independence Day rises again. Make sure your listings and PPC ads are filled with patriotism. It is also the beginning of the barbecue season, hence all related products.
