Whether you are closing a store due to poor performance or retirement, it is a difficult decision for any retail store owner. Get some information first, before you make a decision that you regret later.

There are many things to do in a going out of business sale. This includes setting up advertising, determining pricing, how to sell fixtures, when and what to tell employees, merchandising the stores as it sells down and more. The emotional attachment to the store can be a difficult thing to deal with in this process. However, you need to make rational decisions that will produce the most return out of the store.

 Some of the questions the store owner may have include :

1.How much should you mark down items?
2.How do you advertise this sale, especially the opening?
3.When do you tell employees and how do I keep them from leaving?
4.When do you start getting ready for the sale?
5.What is the best way to sell fixtures and store equipment and supplies?
6.How many and what kind of signs do you need?
7.What day should you start the sale?

These questions and many others are why a retail store with $100,000 or more in inventory should have a professional liquidation company run the sale. The extra return from experts will more than make up for the fees. You only have one chance to do this right. If you start a liquidation sale and mess up, you have cost youeself thousands of dollars that cannot be made up.
