Retail Success Checklist: 3 Steps to Clear Stock Before 2026 Starts

Right now, between the Christmas rush and the New Year, many store owners are sitting on what we call "frozen capital"—inventory that didn’t move during the peak season.

How to execute this using RetailCore today:

1. Run a "Dead Stock" Report: Use RetailCore’s analytics to identify items that haven't moved in the last 60–90 days. In the 2025 retail landscape, holding onto slow-moving items is more expensive than ever due to rising warehouse and floor-space costs.

2. The "Blind" Stock Audit: Use the RetailCore Stock Audit module to perform a physical count. This identifies "leakage" (theft or errors) and ensures your system matches reality before you file year-end taxes.

3. Automated Liquidation via CRM: Instead of a generic "Clearance Sale," use RetailCore’s Customer Loyalty/CRM feature to send a targeted WhatsApp or SMS blast specifically to customers who have bought similar items in the past.

   Example: If you have excess boutique jewelry, the software can filter for customers who spent on accessories last year and offer them an exclusive "New Year VIP" discount.

Why this matters right now:

In 2025, retail is no longer just about having products; it’s about inventory velocity. By clearing out dead stock now, you improve your cash flow to invest in the 2026 trends, such as "Phygital" (Physical + Digital) displays or AI-driven stock replenishment that RetailCore supports.
