Card & Gift Store Liquidations

Wingate is an Expert at Card, Gift & Collectable Going Out of Business Sales!

Liquidating and conducting sales for greeting card, gift, collectible, art, floral and Christian stores takes real expertise. We have going out of business Consultants who specialize in conducting sales for these types of stores. They know how to apply our promotional and inventory liquidation sale plans to these stores to generate the most volume and highest return possible.

Store Closing Sales for these stores often reach 115% to 130% returns

We always strive to recover inventory cost or better. All stores are different and the return varies depending primarily upon the size, condition, age and mix of inventory. The time of the year the sale is held, the length of time the store has been in business, the store’s reputation, location and visibility, parking, the volume the store normally does in relationship to the size of the inventory, and many other factors.

If invited, our Representative will call on you. Once he has seen the store and acquired the necessary information he will propose the sale plan best suited to your store. He'll explain it in detail and estimate the return you can expect. He'll figure the costs and estimate an advertising budget. You'll have the full details before making a commitment.

We'll keep the advertising expense to a minimum. Our sale plan will generate a huge mailing and email list that we'll use to supplement media advertising. Email doesn't cost anything and targeted direct mail costs very little. They keep your customers involved in your sale right down to the last day!

We know how to generate a huge influx of customers on opening day creating a buying frenzy and long lines at the cash registers! In addition, we have the expertise and ability to sustain traffic throughout the going out of business sale right down to the last day. Sustaining traffic is paramount to a successful liquidation. And we know how to clean up the tail end for the best recovery possible.

Our Consultants have been through the Store Closing process many times. They know how to anticipate and resolve problem situations before they arise. They are organizers and problem solvers!

Our liquidations recover more than any other! We've been doing them since 1916!
