SEASONS, EXPLAINED
A week at the markets.
Two months of Christmas.
Both are a season in Sharpened. A season is a defined preorder campaign: the range you’re selling, the window you’re taking orders, and the collection days you’re preparing for.
THE NEXT MARKET
One market. One clear plan.
Whether you trade every week or every fortnight, open preorders ahead of your next market. Prepare from your order reports and have the bags and boxes ready for collection.

THE CHRISTMAS RUSH
Two months. A bigger plan.
Take Christmas orders through November and December. Set the festive range, stock limits and payment options, with collection days or time slots for the final rush.

- Your payment options
- Full payment, a fixed deposit or a percentage deposit.
- Your collection plan
- Collection by day, or by day and time.
- Your team’s preparation
- Cut lists, run sheets and order sheets for the work ahead.
NEXT WEEK. NEXT FORTNIGHT. NEXT CHRISTMAS.
