All good questions natnicnak, which a good management team ought to feel confident answering.

As for stock clearance strategies, rather than using physical stores to clear product, other retailers have noted how perfectly suited the on-line channel is for clearing out stock without training the consumer to wait for sales or discounts in stores, as for example, old or excess stock can be put on sales at odd hours.

However, I do appreciate that SFH has to respond to what the competitors are doing and I do not want to pretend I know even remotely how exactly to address the issue.

Just that some retailers get it right while others don't.
