toimitusmyyntiä

Toimitusmyynti, a Finnish term, translates to consignment sales in English. It is a business model where a seller (consignor) entrusts goods to another party (consignee) to sell on their behalf. The consignee does not purchase the goods outright but rather receives a commission on each sale. The ownership of the goods remains with the consignor until the sale is completed.

This arrangement is common for various types of goods, including clothing, furniture, art, and collectibles. For the consignor, it offers a way to sell items without the direct effort of managing sales, marketing, and customer interactions. For the consignee, it provides a stream of revenue through commissions without the financial risk of buying inventory upfront.

Key aspects of toimitusmyynti include a consignment agreement that outlines the terms of the arrangement, such as the commission rate, duration of the consignment period, and responsibilities for insurance and pricing. Unsold items are typically returned to the consignor after the agreed-upon period. This method allows for a diverse selection of goods to be offered to consumers while minimizing inventory risk for the seller.
