Old inventory gathering dust? You’re not alone. Aged stock can be a burden, tying up capital and hindering your ability to showcase new offerings. This is especially true after peak seasons when customers are less likely to buy full-priced items.

But fear not! There’s a smarter way to clear this burden than resorting to deep discounts, which can damage your perceived value and profit margins.

Rewards programs offer a compelling alternative. By incentivizing purchases without diminishing product value, they encourage customers to feel like they’re “earning” the item, leading to higher sales completion rates.

Benefits of Reward Promotions for Aged Stock Clearance

• Increased Sales: Rewards incentivize purchases, directly reducing aged stock.
• Improved Cash Flow: Faster stock turnover translates to quicker access to working capital.
• Enhanced Customer Engagement: Rewards encourage repeat purchases and build loyalty.
• Brand Differentiation: Creative promotions can set you apart from competitors.

Connecting with Customers Beyond the Sale

Rewards programs go beyond just clearing stock. They offer a valuable opportunity to connect with customers on a deeper level. By providing incentives that enhance their lives, you foster positive associations with your brand, transforming them into loyal advocates who recommend your business.

Examples of successful reward promotions to move old stock:

• The Body Shop: In 2021, they offered a free gift with purchase of specific older stock items, alongside new products from the same category. This cleared stock while promoting new offerings.
• Williams-Sonoma: They’ve been known to offer free cooking classes with the purchase of specific older kitchen appliances, incentivizing customers hesitant about the price and clearing older inventory while promoting new models.
