Top 5 Mistakes Card Shops Make When Sourcing Inventory (and How to Avoid Them)

by Takahiro Hayashi 26 Jul 2025

A well-stocked shop can be the difference between a thriving business and one struggling to keep up. Avoid these common mistakes when sourcing inventory:


Mistake #1 – Buying Too Broad, Not Deep

Many shops try to carry every product but end up with shelves full of slow movers.

Fix: Focus on top-selling categories and double down on the products your customers love.


Mistake #2 – Chasing the Lowest Price Without Support

Cheap distributors often cut corners on quality or fail to deliver on time.

Fix: Work with reliable partners like KURO who provide consistent pricing and partner support.


Mistake #3 – Ignoring Market Timing

Inventory bought at the wrong time can become dead stock fast.

Fix: Use KURO’s drop calendar and seasonal guides to align your stock with customer demand.


Mistake #4 – Failing to Track Data

Guessing what will sell leads to overstocking.

Fix: Track sales data and reorder what’s working before it runs out.


Mistake #5 – Not Building Supplier Relationships

Suppliers prioritize partners who maintain strong communication.

Fix: Stay connected with KURO — we’ll give you early updates and allocation priority.
