# Handling Overstock and Deadstock

Overstock refers to excess inventory that is not moving, while deadstock is unsellable inventory. Both types of stock tie up capital and storage space, so managing them effectively is critical for profitability.

**Strategies for Managing Overstock and Deadstock:**

* **Discount Sales:** Offer discounts to clear slow-moving stock.
* **Bundling:** Combine deadstock with faster-moving items in promotional bundles.
* **Returns to Supplier:** Where possible, negotiate returns of excess stock to suppliers.
