Thoughts:
“If you’re out of stock, you’re out of business—no matter how viral your ad is.”
“Inventory is the oxygen of E-commerce. No stock, no breath.”
“In E-commerce, momentum doesn’t die loud. It dies when you run out of stock.”
If you don’t have stock, please stop running ads.
You’re not “scaling.” You’re just lighting money on fire.
And I’ve done it.
You’re not broke because your product is bad.
You’re broke because you keep selling what you don’t have… and killing momentum in the process.
When inventory finishes, orders stop.
When orders stop, your brain resets.
It’s like driving at 120 on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
Then hitting brake and trying to restart again 1 hour later.
Momentum dies.
Staff get lazy.
Customers ghost.
And guess what?
By the time new stock lands, that hot product is no longer hot.
Ask yourself:
Why do most people scale to 100 orders/day, then crash back to 5?
It’s not ads.
It’s not “people no get money.”
It’s mostly because of inventory.
Stock is oxygen.
No matter how good your copy is… if your lungs are tight, your business can’t breathe.
You can’t increase delivery speed.
You can’t fulfill ads traffic.
You can’t close hot leads.
You can’t follow up old ones.
That’s why poor inventory planning is not just a logistics issue.
It’s a business killer.
It’s also why 80% of struggling E-commerce sellers are secretly just understocked.
Here’s what I learned the hard way…
You don’t plan inventory based on what you have.
You plan inventory based on what you want to sell.
Let’s say you want to sell 50 units per day.
And your supplier needs 12 days to deliver.
That’s 50 × 12 = 600 units.
If you have anything less than that, you’re not building a business
You’re playing with calculator and vibes.
Most sellers don’t plan like this.
They buy 100 units.
Sell 80 in 5 days.
Then start panicking.
Calling the supplier like, “abeg ship it today today.”
They even pause their ads… after working hard to get momentum.
That’s not business.
Real business? You stock like you want to scale.
You stock like you know how fast your orders will come in.
That’s how serious people play this game.
And here’s a secret a lot of sellers still don’t understand:
Fast delivery is not about “speed.”
It’s about location.
If your stock is in Lagos and your customer is in Lagos, delivery guy can drop it same day.
Correct?
But if your stock is “coming from China” or chilling in one small warehouse in Oyo… forget it.
You can’t promise fast anything.
Your ads will be sweet.
Your product will be hot.
But delivery go kill you.
That’s why sellers who keep nearby stock in Lagos, PH, Abuja as product station…
And where they’re getting tons of orders.
They win.
They scale fast.
They sell every day.
Their customers trust them.
They can close sales with just “We deliver in 24hrs.”
And they didn’t get there by luck.
They got there by planning.
