Open House - Homemade Gourmet Items at Discounted Prices

[ChefJWarren]

I'm having an open house tomorrow with Homemade Gourmet. I have several products that were bought by a customer, but she changed her mind after they arrived. She never paid for them either. I could have returned them, but decided to just try and sell them. If I offer them tomorrow at the open house, should I offer a discount? Or just no tax/shipping?

My director usually sells them for the price in the catalog + $1.

It's ultimately up to you how you want to handle the situation, but here are a few suggestions:1. Offer a discount: You could offer a discounted price for the products that the customer changed her mind about. This could incentivize other customers to purchase them and help you recoup some of the cost.2. No tax/shipping: You could also offer to waive the tax and shipping fees for these products. This could make them more appealing to potential buyers and help you sell them.3. Bundle them with other products: You could also bundle these products with other items that you are selling to create a special deal for customers. This could help you sell the products and potentially increase sales for your other products as well.4. Explain the situation: You could also explain the situation to your customers and offer them the opportunity to purchase these products at a discounted price. This could create a sense of urgency and make them more likely to buy.Ultimately, the goal is to sell these products and recoup some of the cost. Consider what will be most appealing to your customers and what will help you make the most sales. Good luck with your open house!
