When choosing a liquidator, do your research! You want someone who will partner with you to get the best possible return for inventory, fixtures and other assets. You need someone experienced who has done it many times before for the independent storeowner. That's Wingate Sales Solutions!
Our business has survived for over ninety years by conducting honest, ethical sales and getting the results our clients expect and need. We understand that closing one's store is a lifestyle change that creates a lot of stress. We treat our clients with dignity and respect.
Beware of companies that make you open a joint escrow bank account. What you do with your money is none of their business. At Wingate Sales Solutions, we'll do everything possible to make your sale a success except take a key to your store and manage your money.
I was very skeptical and even against the idea of going through a liquidation Company to close my store. Money was tight, business almost nonexistent and the last thing I wanted was to waste money. Wingate Sale Solutions presented their program and convinced me to take a chance so we could come out on top.
The Wingate Consultant was very informative of what moves to make so we could optimize sales from the start. I would have been lost without the knowledge and experience the Consultant was able to share. We refaced the entire store and found every bit of sellable merchandise in three days. The first day of the sale was the busiest day we had ever experienced. It was almost overwhelming. The Consultant continued to find new items we could sell and make sure we got the most out of the sale. After a few days the Consultant was able to tell what sections were dogs and suggested we adjust the discounts appropriately.
Wingate has put together a solid program run by confidant smart people. My experience with Wingate was much better than I could have imagined.
What a surprise! We had a line waiting anxiously outside the door on the first day of the sale and a line waiting for hours before opening on the last day of the sale! It was phenomenal!!
Closing a business you have dedicated your life to is not an easy thing to do. Where do you start? How do you get rid of the inventory? How do you deal with customers and employee emotions? Well thankfully, your team at Wingate have done hundreds of closeouts, and had all the answers. We are so impressed how your company, and the people in it, helped us to not only survive, but to exit with honor, grace and prosperity. On the first day of the sale we were slammed! We far exceeded any expectations we had for sales on that day. Customers were lined up 15 deep at the register nearly all day! Then over the weeks, our Consultant led us on a very systematic path with programmed mark-downs. He really understood customer buying attitudes and sales tactics to maximize our margins, and we did not have to deal with the pressure of planning advertising or merchandise floor moves.
The initial letter retrieved 65% of my inventory cost in 4 days! Our Consultant returned our entire inventory cost within 17 days. He exceeded my first goal and came close to my second. He concentrated the advertising around my store (And the Game) mailing list, which kept the total advertising expense under 4.5% of sales. We are in the final days of our liquidation sale and the results exceeded my expectations.
Wingate was instrumental in helping us organize and prepare for our sale, generate and maintain customer traffic, set and time merchandise discounts, advertise merchandise, advertise and sell fixtures, maximize net return, and most importantly maintain the dignity with which we served the community while we were open. I could go on and on about how choosing Wingate Sales Solutions was the best decision we ever made. All in all, Mr. Wingate, we could not have successfully closed our business without you.
