salgsperioder

Salgsperioder are designated periods during which retailers offer reduced prices, promotions, or other incentives to stimulate demand and move inventory. They are planned as part of the retail calendar and can be national or regional, covering both physical stores and online shops. The timing and focus of salgsperioder are influenced by inventory levels, seasonality, holidays, and consumer spending patterns.

Common examples include end-of-season or clearance sales to make room for new stock, Christmas and New Year promotions, summer sales, back-to-school campaigns, and seasonal shopping events such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The specific periods vary by sector; fashion and home goods often follow clear seasonal cycles, while electronics or furniture may have more irregular pacing.

The primary purposes of salgsperioder are to reduce excess inventory, improve cash flow, attract new and returning customers, and stimulate sales during slower periods. Retailers may employ a range of tactics, including price discounts, bundled offers, limited-time deals, loyalty rewards, and targeted online campaigns. The effectiveness of a salgsperiode depends on factors such as price positioning, product mix, and channel performance.

Consumer protection and regulatory considerations apply to salgsperioder. Claims about discounts must be truthful, and terms such as the original price, discount level, and duration should be clearly communicated. Misleading practices, such as inflating prices before a sale, are regulated in many jurisdictions. Clear terms help maintain trust and transparency for shoppers.
