| Managing markdowns: why prevention is better than the optimization cure | | Quantum Retail | Markdown Optimization has become all the rage of retailers and retail technologists, but what is a markdown and how should we optimize it? A simple definition is a reduction in price, or the amount by which a price is reduced. To mark down is to alter price in order to raise demand. At one time retailers called this exercise 'clearance' and marked down the price of their goods just once a year, if ever. That was in the annual sale, a time when demand was low and the retailer wanted to clear excess stock in order to make way for new products. Today markdowns are a continuous process for the retailer. | |
