Excess inventory has always been a pain point for retailers, no matter how large or small. The truth  is, even the best teams aren’t able to forecast what items will sell through. Similarly, even the best inventory management system can\u2019t predict extraordinary global circumstances like widespread supply chain issues or dips in consumer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, surplus inventory doesn’t have to be an issue, either for your shelf space or your bottom line. Rather,it can be an opportunity to appease loyal shoppers, generate new customers, and recoup revenue<\/a> while instilling a positive brand message. Maintain ownership of your business and solve inventory turnover issues by having a warehouse sale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample sales and warehouse sales are  great ways to sell excess inventory. Here are five reasons why to consider a warehouse sale in particular:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. It creates a sense of urgency. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People love a good deal. That’s a universal fact. Shoppers will go to great lengths to save money because it’s worth it \u2013 particularly for brands they love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1999, StyleDemocracy, previously Paradigm Retail Group, was one of Canada’s first third-party warehouse sale providers in the fashion industry. Its concept came to life after Michael Berg, StyleDemocracy’s President and Founder, liquidated his family’s retail business, Ira Berg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After witnessing how shoppers reacted to the limited-time offers, Berg was able to identify an incredible opportunity to provide brands with warehouse sales as inventory solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With shoppers savvier than ever, warehouse sales present shoppers an incredible opportunity to shop for an abundance of products for amazing prices. Most consumers are willing to invest time in a warehouse sale experience because the deals are worth it; this often results in larger transactions. On the flipside, you can sell your slow moving inventory and free up storage space, renewing cash flow in real time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Brands get a higher dollar recovery than other excess inventory solutions. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With excess inventory, there are two typical avenues retailers take: warehouse sales or wholesalers. The alternatives to these routes are donating the product, or even destroying the product<\/a>. Destroying the product is not only detrimental to the environment but can negatively impact a brand’s image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical wholesale solutions offer a brand pennies on the dollar, while a warehouse sale sells the product directly to a customer and offers a brand higher recovery on these goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At StyleDemocracy, excess stock is not purchased from brands and instead works off of consignment. This model allows a higher recovery and allows brands to focus on developing a great event, rather than worrying about margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Brands receive revenue quickly. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Due to the urgent nature of a sale event, traditional warehouse sales typically last no longer than a week. StyleDemocracy’s events last three to five days. At the end of a sale, clients receive funds within three business days. In comparison to a wholesale solution, which typically takes 30 to 90 days for the payment of goods, this is a much speedier recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sample sales and warehouse sales offer positive brand experiences. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the options available for dealing with excess inventory, a sample or warehouse sale event is by far the most impactful in creating a positive brand experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

StyleDemocracy has worked with some of the largest companies in the world, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
