We’ll help you purge your old inventory, freeing up capital for you to invest in fresh new wares in your fresh new store.

Questions About Store Closing & Liquidation?
If you have questions about how retail liquidation works, you’re not alone. Below, you’ll find some of the more common questions we get asked here at Silverman Consulting.
Silverman Consulting was established in 1991, but many of our consultants have been in the industry for longer. Some of our consultants’ specialties include jewellery inventory planning and merchandizing, retail operations, sales management, financial planning, advertising, and more.
Silverman Consulting provides the following services as retail consultants, creating retail liquidation events for a range of clients from small “mom and pop” local stores to national chains:
- Store closing sales
- Consolidation sales
- Liquidation sales
- Retirement sales
- Jewellery promotional events
- Inventory management
- Inventory evaluations & appraisals
- Interim management services and due diligence
Your needs and goals are different than any other business. The Silverman team recognizes this. We’ll work closely with you to build a customized sales plan to best suit your business approach, store type, geography, and post-sale plans.
Silverman’s fees are based on either a fee for service model, or a commission-based approach. We’ll work with you to find out which model works best for you.
While the idea of a store closing sale is to sell off your existing inventory, it’s also important to leave you on the strongest footing possible after your sale is over. Whatever you’re moving onto, whether it’s retirement or a new career, more money will make the transition easier. Silverman maintains close relationships with many of the retail industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers. We can bring in extra goods that fit with your store’s culture, clientele, and inventory history, so you can move as much product as possible.
