Merchant guide

A practical deadstock review should start before the panic discount.

Aging inventory gets expensive when it stays invisible until the end of a season. The goal is not to discount everything. The goal is to find the SKUs that deserve attention, understand the cost tied up, and review options with margin context before a campaign goes live.

Step 1: Separate stale inventory from simply slow inventory.

DeadClear looks at aging and velocity signals so merchants can decide which products deserve review first. A product can be slow without being a clearance priority if margin, seasonality, or replenishment context says otherwise.

Step 2: Put a floor under clearance decisions.

Margin floors help teams review bundle and markdown ideas before publishing. They do not promise profit, but they make the tradeoff visible enough for a merchant to approve, adjust, or reject the campaign.

Step 3: Track the campaign after launch.

Clearance work should stay visible after the discount is published. DeadClear keeps campaign progress in the workflow so the next review starts from what changed, not from a fresh spreadsheet.

FAQ

Does DeadClear sell inventory automatically?

No. It surfaces candidates and supports reviewable workflows. Merchants remain in control of campaign decisions.

FAQ

Do I need perfect COGS data?

Better cost data improves margin review. DeadClear can still help organize the review workflow around the inventory signals available.

FAQ

Is this only for seasonal stores?

No. It is useful anywhere slow movers accumulate: apparel, home goods, beauty, accessories, specialty retail, and multi-location catalogs.

FAQ

What should I review first?

Start with products that combine age, low velocity, and meaningful tied-up cost. That is a practical place to begin a structured review.
