## What it means for a shop owner

You turn to it for slow stock, goods near expiry, or end of season. A small early cut beats waiting until no margin is left. Check the new price is still above cost.

## A worked example

An item priced 50 costs 30. Cut it by 20 percent to 40 and you still make 10 per piece.
