What to do with discontinued inventory.....

Ugh!  They put out another new catalog and took out a lot of what I had in my inventory.  Now what???

I'm seeing this a lot since the new catalog came out and Pure Romance discontinued a lot of products.

Bedroom Eyes- send to Kathryn. ;) 

Here are some of the options I'm using and if you have any more ideas please share!

You may have seen the cute little pink tubs the west coast Florida girls are obsessive over at Target.  We've been snatching them up like condoms at a frat party.

You can either offer them as Hostess Incentives and charge a discounted price to your hostess or give them to her as her hostess gift depending on the price of the items. 



Or, you can make a discount bin.  There are many ways you can do this.  You can just say 50% bin and pile everything in it.  Or you can tell customers if they spend $X they can shop from the 50% off bin (or whatever % you want).  It's your inventory, play around with a few ideas and see what works for you.



You can also use them as booking incentives.  Pretty them up, post them on your page or add them to an email.  A little tissue paper goes a long way!
