Every year, as dependably as diets follow the overindulgence of holiday merrymaking, inventory season arrives for retailers still hung over from the seasonal selling binge. But why wait until after the holidays to clear out that merchandise? Hold a holiday clearance sale to blow out the inventory before the buying spree ends.

People love bargains during the holidays. And with all that extra foot traffic, the holidays can be a good time to get rid of discontinued, damaged or old merchandise weighing down your business. You can launch an across-the-board discount or coupon sale, a buy-one-get-one-free sale or team up with nearby retailers and make it a gala cooperative sales event with a party atmosphere. Use your imagination - it’s well worth the effort. A clearance rack can quickly turn a frugal crowd into paying customers!

Statistics show that today’s customers react positively to these kinds of offers.
