How To Run A Successful End Of Financial Year Sale
Season 1
Published 6 years ago
Description
As we approach the end of financial year, you may be considering running a clearance or flash sale (affectionately known as an EOFYS).
There's the temptation to reduce how much you need to count during your stock-take.
Or to get a few quick sales over the line before having to pay the tax man.
There are many benefits to running an EOFYS:
- You can sell off end of season or last season's stock.
- Clear slow-selling lines or odd or less popular sizes.
- Encourage new customers to trial your products for the first time by retargeting people who have visited specific product pages in your online store.
- Or you can reward existing loyal customers or re-engage lapsed customers who haven't bought from you in a while.
But to benefit from the enormous potential of this strategy, you need to avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes.
Otherwise you could end up digging yourself into a bigger hole with poor revenue and profit now and into the future!
