A European consumer electronics retailer negotiated a once-a-year Black Friday inventory deal worth €500K. The supplier offered a 25% discount, but only if the order was placed and paid within 5 days. Unfortunately, most cash was tied up in pre-Christmas inventory and marketing campaigns.
💥 The risk:
- Missing out on 30%+ margins
- Competitors snapping up exclusive inventory
- Losing first-mover advantage in seasonal trends
Their bank required 14 days for a loan review. Their CFO knew they’d lose the deal before the ink could dry.
