Tips: How to Find Planned Liquidations
Step
1: Do not overlook inventory donations in the category of
by-products. These could include any leftover products
from manufacturing or production processes in industry. Such items
include: plastic regrind, mineral ores, fabric scraps and end-cuts
or miscuts from products ranging from food to metal fabrication.
These are valuable because they are typically repeating-type
inventory problems of your business friends.
Step
2: Indentify companies that are downsizing or upgrading their
facilities. When companies shut down a division, office
or entire factory, potential inventory donations can be found. These
generate used computers, displaced equipment and tools, as well as
office systems and furniture.
Step
3: Consumer category items from manufacturers,
wholesalers or retailers are the best finds for quick conversion to
cash at the highest possible value. This will
require that you contact your friends in these businesses well ahead
of their normally planned liquidations. You would simply ask them to
divert a percentage of their normal liquidation lots, with the
provision that AdTech will work with them to take the donated
inventory into markets outside of their primary market place.
If you have questions about any part of
this program or have a specific type of business and inventory that
you want us to evaluate before the donor is contacted, please call
or fax a list of your target businesses to us. We are eager to help
you in your challenge to develop new funding sources.
