Channel stuffing is the practice of sending more products to a retailer than they have ordered. The term is derived from the fact that retailers often pay for products before they are shipped.

The goal of channel stuffing is to get retailers to pay for products before they are able to sell them. This can be done by either increasing the quantity of product that you send or by decreasing the time between shipments.

Channel stuffing can be an effective tactic for managing cash flow, but it's not without risks. Here are some reasons why you should avoid channel stuffing as a business:

1. It does not increase sales or market share
2. It can damage customer relationships
3. It will likely lead to financial penalties and fines
4.It can damage customer loyalty and trust.
