Deadstock is a problem for any e-commerce business. Deadstock means that the stock is not selling and is accruing costs to the company through storage and upkeep. Therefore, deadstock can harm the profit margins of any business.

E-Commerce

E-commerce businesses can suffer from deadstock by overestimating demand and over-ordering an item. Poor marketing may also mean the product has not reached its customer base. Another way an e-commerce business can suffer from deadstock is by not ensuring their products are of high quality, resulting in ineffective stock that cannot be sold. If your business is suffering from deadstock there are steps you can take to mitigate the loss on your business.
