For instance, <strong>Black Friday<\/strong> is a time when everyone turns to marketplaces for shopping, and order volume tends to <strong>increase<\/strong> during this period.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you can <strong>prepare your inventory and stock levels to meet the increased demand <\/strong>effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Gross_Merchandise_Volume_GMV\"><\/span><strong>2.
