Reviewing End-of-Season Merchandise
End-of-season stock needs a documented decision about continued display, storage, transfer or a planned price change.
Practical Considerations
Count complete saleable units and inspect packaging before deciding what to retain. Record the space needed and the next useful selling period rather than treating storage as having no cost or effort.
Suggested Procedure
- Count and identify remaining variants.
- Check condition and packaging.
- Record the next action and review date.
Illustrative Example
Undated gift ribbon may have a different future use from decorations printed with a specific year. Keep those distinctions visible when reviewing the remaining stock.
Points to Check
Any price or disposal decision belongs to the retailer. Avoid automatic rules that ignore condition, current demand or the terms attached to the goods.
