Understanding Markdowns
What a markdown does
A markdown is a permanent or promotional price reduction: sale price = original × (1 − markdown%). It moves stock, but it comes entirely out of margin, so a 30% markdown can erase far more than 30% of profit.
Markdown vs margin
Before running a markdown, check the resulting margin against cost. A deep markdown can push the sale price below your cost — this calculator flags that so you do not sell at a loss by accident.
Smart, market-aware markdowns
The right markdown is just deep enough to beat competitors and clear stock. Monitoring competitor prices tells you how far you actually need to go, so you protect margin. Price Patrol automates that.
Mark Down Just Enough to Win
Price Patrol shows where competitors price so your markdowns clear stock without giving away margin.
