A Dead Stock Clearance Plan That Protects Margin
Use age, demand, and true cost to decide whether an item should be promoted, bundled, or returned.

An old accessory can look harmless in one bin while many old accessories lock up money across the store. Start with a dated list rather than a blanket discount.
## Sort by age and value
Separate items by last sale date, purchase cost, and current quantity. Prioritize expensive units that have not moved for several months.
## Choose a route
Try better placement or a compatible bundle first. If you mark down an item, calculate the remaining margin and document the price end date.
## Measure cash recovered
Compare units sold and cash received after the action with the value still on the shelf. Stop repeating promotions that merely move newer stock.
ElectroX sales and inventory records give owners a way to review aging items against actual demand before buying more.
