Our primary services include: |
• Limited engagement “warehouse sale” events
• Design and operation of outlet stores
• Purchase of excess inventory
|
| The key to having an effective overall liquidation strategy is to have more than one distribution channel for selling your excess inventory. Business conditions can vary significantly from one year to the next, therefore, your strategy should include multiple channels to deal with those fluctuating needs. If you have outlet stores, that channel should be supplemented with warehouse sales. The graph below illustrates this point: |
