Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Off-price discount retailers specialize in buying and selling excess and unsold merchandise from other retailers. These retailers purchase products at a lower price and then sell them at a discount to consumers, making them a suitable option for the publisher to dispose of their overrun and unsold holiday books. Convenience stores, department stores, and supermarkets are unlikely to carry seasonal items all year round and may not be interested in purchasing the remaining merchandise.
