price reduction

Markdown at checkout

A price reduction is a lowering of the cost of goods or services, typically to stimulate sales, clear inventory, or respond to market competition.

Retailers announce price reductions through sales, markdowns, and promotional discounts.

The store offered a 20% price reduction on all winter coats.

The term emphasizes the act of making something cheaper rather than the resulting low price itself.
