Shedding Excess Inventory

Chain Store Age — January 1, 2009

Retailing has always been a gamble, with inventory management perhaps the consummate game of chance. In times of economic peril, the stakes are even higher. To quote a country-music legend: "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, know when to run." This is the month to run—at least in terms of moving excess inventories through the point of sale at deep discounts or back through the supply chain. Although each of these venues has proved worthwhile for selling small quantities of product to consumers, the bigger challenges are off-loading large volumes of multi-million dollar inventories. For transactions on this scale, Best Buy has partnered with Washington, D.C.-based LSI, which enables the retailer to liquidate pallets and even full truckloads of excess product.
