Selling Lingerie stock from closed retail shop

mollieschamber

I have closed down my High St Lingerie shop and have a large amount of stock. I have been selling on ebay but it has not been cost effective and have had one day sales in a local venue both of which have helped but I would really like to sell off remaining stock in bulk and draw a line under this business venture.

Can anyone advise on how I might acheive this? All stock is brand new with labels attached and recognised high st brands such as Fantasie, Freya, Chantelle etc. Stock value is approx £12k cost.

Thanks in advance

Take a market stall or approach a market trader?

If you were interested, Landlords are now open to Tenants going into their vacant shops on short term licences. They won't charge you any rent but you may have to pay rates etc. The reason they do this is that if a tenant stays in the property for a certain amount of time, the Landlord is then entitled to 3 months rates relief. Def worth looking into.

Reminds me of a sale sign I once saw "Knickers down today" !

What about some wedding fairs? Or Mall Space in a shopping centre - Bloomfields, Connswater and Buttercrane have all worked for us in the past, phone the centre manager.

You can post bulk lots on ebay, or what about Gum tree?

We used to supply a cafe/gift shop who bought out the stock from another gift shop - so you could try other lingerie shops, or get a sales agent to try them for you

Where would you go to find out more information on this?
