sales events

Marked-down merchandise periods

Sales events are promotional periods when retailers offer discounted prices to drive purchases.

These range from store-specific clearances to widespread commercial holidays like Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day.

The term often appears in marketing: Don't miss our biggest sales events of the year.

Sales events create urgency, encouraging customers to buy before deals expire.
