3.
When
selecting your price for the item, think of what you would pay for the item. If you are trying to clear clutter,
price it lower on the scale and allow it to go half price to ensure it
sells. If you are trying to
maximize your check, you can price at the higher end of the scale.
4.
Don’t
price an item for $3, knowing it is “over-priced”, and hoping
to sell it for $1.50 on half price day. Over 70% of our shoppers shop during
regular pricing times. You will
maximize your sales if your full price is competitive for the majority of
the sale and then allow your items to sell half price on Saturday. You always have the option of not
letting your item sell for half price.
