inventory clearance

Emptying the warehouse

Inventory clearance is the process of selling off stock, typically at reduced prices, to make room for new merchandise or free up capital.

Retailers hold clearance sales to move seasonal items, discontinued products, or excess inventory: The end-of-summer inventory clearance brought deep discounts on patio furniture.

The term emphasizes the business goal—emptying shelves—rather than the customer benefit.
