Do-It-Yourself Store Closing Sale

Sometimes you just can't justify the expense of using a store closing consultant. All retailers considering conducting a Store Closing Sale should investigate the services of an experienced store closing sale retail consultant. In most cases, the difference between the results generated from a professionally planned and implemented Store Closing Sale and a going out of business sale planned and conducted by the independent retailer will more than cover the consulting fees.

Here are some circumstances and situations when the retailer should "Do-It-Yourself":
• Inventory Levels below $40,000
• Consultant's projected sales results are less than retailer's debt.
• Consultant's projected sales results are less than consultant's fees and projected advertising cost.
• Retailer is a hard-head and knows he won't follow consultant's advise.

Our "Do-It-Yourself" plan is developed from information you provide. It is customized to your needs and goals. It will provided detailed instructions on:
• best time to run your sale
• how long your sale should be
• what kind of sales volume to expect
• markdown strategy
• merchandising strategies
• the sourcing and use of signs.
• most effective marketing media
• selling fixtures and equipment
• and more...

It also includes two (2) thirty (30) minute consulting sessions. These sessions are in addition to the time spent gathering information for your plan. These sessions can be any time during your store closing sale and are scheduled at a time mutually convenient for you and the consultant.


If you were to compare the "Do-It-Yourself" approach to embarking on a cross-country trip, It would be like driving alone using a road map. You'll get where your going, but might encounter a few detours and delays. It's difficult to drive and read the map at the same time. If you take your eyes off the road, there's always a chance you run into a road hazard. If you're not going to have an experienced store closing consultant ride along with you to provide direction and help avoid hazards, you certainly want to have the best map you can. Without a good map, there is a strong chance that you might never get to your final destination. Or if you do, it has cost you more time and money than you planned.
