For anyone who has a small business it is well worth having a look at liquidation stock on a regular basis. Not only can you pick up the items that you normally sell (for a fraction of the price), but you may also come across some other possibilities for stock as well. It can be a great way to try out a new line in something that you haven’t sold before without too much of a risk to your finances. Even if the worst comes to the worst and your new line proves to be a waste of time, your losses will be a lot lower than if you had bought the goods at their normal wholesale price.
Surplus stock is widely available from warehouses all around the country. By having a look on your search engine you can quickly find one that is only a short drive away. More and more small businesses are becoming aware of how cheap it is to buy surplus stock and, as a consequence, there are now many more outlets.
Obviously what sort of lines you buy in will depend, to some degree, on what you normally sell. If you usually trade in clothing then you are not going to consider stocking up on kitchen cleaning materials. Saying this though, if you have a shop which sells a few different odds and ends (besides your main stock) then you may find something new to try. The great thing about liquidation stock warehouses is you never quite know what you are going to come across. It is a bit like a giant car boot sale where everything is brand new.
Some of the items that you can normally expect to come across include; clothes, cleaning products, hardware items and confectionary. Another thing that frequently turns up amongst surplus stock is toys. Even if you run a small corner shop, then a selection of toys can fit in with the rest of your stock perfectly. You don’t have to keep large box sets of building blocks or game compendiums; you could have a small area set aside for ‘pocket money’ toys. You would be surprised just how many different items for children you could keep just on one small shelf. There are all sorts of cheap toys that take up a minimal amount of space.
Many of these surplus stock warehouses are not just for people who are in the retail trade. If you are the kind of person that enjoys hunting around for bargains then it may well be worth going to have a look around one. Again, if you have a look on the internet then you will soon find out; any that are open to the public will say so. Depending on the website, you may even be able to get a general idea of the sort of items that they tend to sell. Some of the bigger warehouses specialize in larger items such as furniture or clothing whilst others tend to stock smaller goods.
