Where the bargains live

• End‑of‑run bundles: limited micro‑bundles that pair staples with seasonals.
• Clearance pages optimized for conversion — see tactics at How Seasonal Clearance Pages Convert.

“The bargain isn’t the cheapest item — it’s the one that lasts and fits the lifestyle.”

Microbrands experiment with preorders, tokenized loyalty and experiential drops to move inventory without damaging brand. For micro‑branding and submarks that help small spaces sell better, see Maximizing Small Spaces: Micro‑Branding.
